Simply amazing! What is your favorite stool from the list? Well, I find the magazine stool and the toad stool cute. While the ones using concrete is already a lot of work for me. Lol. I may be an engineer but I don’t do concrete mixing by myself. I am more of a paper and fabric person so those two stools appeal to me the most and I’d more likely make them. The egg carton stools look like too but I can’t use them in my home because people in the house would surely pick it up and consider it garbage! Now, tell me which of the stools above you’d most likely make.
