Do you have a new, vintage, or
antique footstool?
Found this Victorian horseshoe
shaped iron foot rest

Had to lug it home with me.

I love this footstools! We have a chair and footstool from hubby's granddad and he always pulls it to watch tv and rest his feet. I love the zebra looking one and many others. Thanks pretty girl.

Love all of the footstools you featured...the one your brought home is PERFECT for your house!
I really love the foot stool you bought for your home, it definitely looks nice and sturdy!!
I don't blame you for bringing that home! how unique! My MIL just gave me her foot stool she needlepointed several years ago..green with a pink rose my favorite colors!
Alison all those footstools are so pretty but I love the one you bought for your home!
Hello Alison! Thanks for telling "your story" over at the Treasured Home this morning!
Cheers!,
Barbara
The horseshoe footstool is so different, and just perfect for your home. Sally
Alison, I'm thrilled to see the footstool. You were right, it was worth the effort to lug home. ;-)
Honestly it was meant to be in your home. How perfect!
We have footstools, ottomans, etc. in most rooms in the house. Not only are they comfy on which to prop up one's feet, they make great places to stack books, magazines, a pot plant, etc.
Now I'm off to visit Barbara.
Have a great day ~ Sarah
The horseshoe is perfect for you! I'd be all over that needlepoint one.
Alison - As usual, you've hit the jackpot with your new horseshoe footstool. What could be more perfect for The Polohouse? You're a master at finding just the right accessory for just the right spot in your house. I seriously think that someday you should write a book with all of your lovely vignettes!
The footstool fits with your house perfectly.
Love your footrest. I just had a feeling it was heavy..LOL. Pretty table setting. Smiles, Susie(She Junks)
I don't have a foot rest...after seeing your examples I believe I need to find one. The horseshoe stool is very cute and so fitting to your home.

I love those footstools. It makes a room so cozy. I particularly love needlepointed stools.
Your new footstool is so perfect for your home. What a find! It looks in perfect condition. I'm headed over to Barbara's to check out her designs.

Hi Alison, all these foot stools are gorgeous. I would love to own any of them. I do have a new one, iron legs with a red velvet cushion. I use it every night to climb up and into my tall bed! I enjoyed visiting with Barbara and her lovely home. Congratulations on being featured. I was delighted to get to know you a little better.

I love propping my feet on an ottoman. I have several of them. None antique though. Yours is so cute! I've never seen anything quite like it.
Have a wonderful day!
I love the cute footstools with the valances.... so pretty... xv
Hi Alison:
I have been styling a shop up in Michigan for their opening this weekend (tomorrow) While working there I came across something you need to have. All I have to do is get a hold of you by email and for some reason, I am unable to find your email contact. I have never seen one of these and I of course thought of you. It is a darling horse stable, all white with a green roof. Maybe about 36" long and 7-8" deep. I can be reached at mareb1776@aol.com M.A.
P.S.
All of the lugging you did to get that horseshoe home had to be worth the effort. It is beautiful and so unique. I don't think I have ever seen one!
