Finally...I finished them.

A while back I was wandering around a craft store and found these cute, plain wooden step stools for about $4, on clearance. I figured I would try my creative genius on them. This is what turned out.

Ellie is excited. She loved standing on the plain stools and hasn't been able to touch them for almost 2 months as I have been working on them. Sadly, they should have been done more than a month ago but at that point I felt they needed something more so I added the stripes on the sides and finally after another 3 weeks I added the brown line yesterday. They are now sprayed and sealed.
