Anyone that knows me knows I'm not super handy.  I don't successfully make many home repairs - thus, when something actually works out the way I intended I'm usually happier than the level of difficulty of the task warrants.

We have three stools in our secret room that were getting in pretty bad shape.  At the super bowl party a kid sat on one and it fell apart - the wood of the seat had totally disintegrated and when he sat on it the stool just fell apart.  Fortunately he wasn't hurt but needless to say it was time to fix the stools.

I measured the wood and my dad was cool enough to cut three circles for me.  Then Lisa picked up some padding and some material.  I then disassembled the old stools, cut the padding and cover material to size, reupholstered the stools, re-installed the trim, and put the stools tops back on (the bases are bolted to the floor of the secret room).

Again, nothing I did was particularly tricky - though getting the upholstery stapling done on a round stool without a ton of puckering was harder than I expected.  In the end I'm pretty happy with how they came out.
