Vanity Tuffet

This is my version of a modern day Tuffet, If Miss Muffet were here, I think she would find this little stool perfect for sitting on while she ate her curds and whey! I needed a seat for my antique vanity but didn't have a lot of money. I wanted a chair that I could sit on while I applied my make-up and then tucked out of the way while not in use. It also needed to be lightweight so that it wouldn't leave scratches on my new wood laminate floor. A few years ago I made a chair out of cans, that's where I got the idea to make a smaller version out of larger cans. I attached some small casters that allow the stool to roll with ease. This is a pretty piece of furniture, but it is also quite sturdy! Total cost of this project was about $15.
