We always seem to collect a lot of little things in our homes, because they're cute and useful and inexpensive enough that they can be impulse items, and they're valuable for all those reasons.  Being inexpensive is not the same as being cheap.  These pieces are built to the same standards as my larger pieces, using the same techniques and materials. They're just smaller.

 

 

 

 

Based on an old Shaker design, this is a handy little stool you don't have to hide when not in use.  The extended handle makes it easy to move about.  Great to reach that top cupboard or get up on that high bed.  I use one to change ceiling light bulbs.
