lpalta, that stool is awesome! I love it in it's chippy state. The feet are intriquing. Are they claws? I'd love to see a close up... Personally, I'd leave it black, at least until after Halloween! It's perfect for a spooky vignette.

I have a close up of a foot in my Webshots Craft album. The tip of the foot screws on and each claw is holding a round glass ball. It looks as if the stool has been varnished and the varnish is peeling. I am guessing the wood is walnut.

Hey Brooke! Yea - I am buying again since I had a disaster and lost all except 1 orchid. My 3 season room where they all seem to winter happily had the door left open over night a couple of weeks ago and everything froze and turned to mush. So - I am buying again :-) Yes, when I say this is a mini - the pot is about 3 inches across and the spike is maybe 4 - 5 inches tall at most? I know there is nothing for scale in the picture. This thing is tiny and adorable! I didn;t know there were mini orchids. The blooms maybe slightly larger (I mean grapes do come in a variety of sizes) but I would guess they are about an inch across. Anyway it is a little cutie and I am keeping it! Alexa

The Tiger was posing for me. Because I don't have a butterfly garden yet, you have to imagine me running around a sixty-acre pasture with my daughter's Kodak trying to convince butterflies to let me get eight inches or so from them...my family all smile and laugh. They're used to Mom being a little nuts. Anna

I still think KQ is just splendid; it may be common but never fails to remind me why it was my first Hoya love. Great form, lovely leaves & some crazy growing vines to remind us it's a Hoya after all. Nice find, hope it does well for you (yeah, I'd go back & buy the others w/ bud as I've never had a Carnosa or any of those bloom for me yet).

Kathleen, you're right, Replacements Limited is the place I'd go only if I was desperate for an important piece I couldn't find after a long search. They're definitely not cheap! Gail, too funny! Yes, and I love the hunt! DD: yes, that's what I'm hoping for. Perhaps more patterns will turn up then. Patty cakes: those are so pretty and what a good deal!! Betty & Mo, thanks! VMP: oh my gosh, they do look a lot like my bowls! I'm absolutely floored by the replacement price for yours!! That coffee pot is just exquisite. Neesie, Yes, check your TM. I did call the other two in Albuquerque and neither had any of the fish plates, in any size. I keep thinking about them and may go back and buy the four dinner plates they had tomorrow while I'm in town. I don't know what it is about these plates, but I do like them a lot. Perhaps it's that they remind me of my childhood growing up in Michigan on the lakes. I hope you find some. Luvs, thanks! I'm going to take the brown and white flowered plates back tomorrow. I may use the money to buy four of the fish dinner plates ;^P

It's an old piano or organ stool...likely mahogany....and in the right place worth a good bit if it hasn't been painted and the turn around thingey works...

I'd leave it as is for now as sure looks great for Halloween! Library might have antique books in reference or check out section or try finding it on the Web. I have a wrought iron 1 that swivels but with a square top & very heavy, got at yard sale for $15. & I love it not anywhere as nice as yours, I love the balls in the feet. Jan

Great find! Don't know what to tell you to do with it either, but I love it. I always bring things home and have no clue what I'll do with them, but you know when you see someting like that that you have to have it!

I'm sure you'll get ideas here. Thanks for sharing!

Went to a Fire Dept Auction this summer, they had an old church organ which did not sell, the stool went with it. I offered a price for the stool, then the bidding started. I got it for approx 25.00 It is just sitting here, thought I might put a fern on top. Looks old house.

I wouldn't do anything to it, it's perfect the way it is. I agree with the fern ... either that or use it as a small end table next to a chair or sofa?

I have a piano stool that looks exactly the same. My mother did a great job in refinishing it. It's an heirloom to me. The last time I checked mine was worth about $75.

Enjoy

Oh I love her! Used to have one just like her. Now I have a male named Tom because he looks just like the cat on Tom & Jerry.

Oh wait, you're talking about the stool.
