DIY Embroidery Top Wooden Stool

We wanted to a customize and make our own DIY wooden stool with a soft cushion top that can be used as an extra seating, a table, or a footstool.

We feel this gives the punch of colour we want to make the interior of our home feel brighter even during the long winter seasons!
