I would tear down the stool and see if it’s a beauty underneath, if not upholster with that beautiful needlepoint. I like the roses needlepoint with that frame.. very 70’s vibe ❤

Definitely reupholster with the needlepoint! It will be GORGEOUS ! Also chunky frame with needlepoint will work beautifully! Really love your channel❤️

Yes to the needlepoint stool!

I think the chunky frame is a bit overwhelming for that piece.

Yes on reupholstering with the needlepoint but dependent on what's underneath and what would sell for more. I prefer more delicate frame for the floral. Congrats on your 2nd store location.

The needlepoint would look very nice on that stool. That thick frame I think it would overpower the very pretty needlepoint flower.

The needlepoint looks pretty on the stool but I would not use it for that. I would save it to replace a damaged piece and sell the stool as is, bcs it's cute, in good condition and it will sell. Someone will probably love it! But if it doesn't sell as is, you'd still have the option to recover it later.

The needlepoint would be so pretty for stool! Go for it! 😉

Andi ☀️ Congratulations 🎉🥳🎊✨🎈 on getting a second booth! You should be very proud of yourself honey! Your enthusiasm for your products definitely comes through the screen. Which makes us want to buy your stuff. You're so honest & real it is such a breath of fresh air. Did you ever sell that huge piece of art pottery at the booth? It was on the back wall on a shelf towards the bottom. It is quite large. Let me know thanks. You go girl 💪❤

I LOVE the original upholstery on the stool with those button accents. I get a "Mad Men" vibe from it. I'm in the minority here, but I say leave it as is.

Yes to the stool recover & no to the chunky frame.

man cave sad...aesthetic lol. Love the music box! Also, yes to the chunky frame with the rose needlepoint!!

The vintage Florentine music box is from the early days of the Sundance catalog.. I had one just like it given to me as gift in early 1990s. My granddaughter has it now. ❤

The stool’s legs are great. That fabric is sad 70’s (trust me, I was there). The wood underneath might be nice but probably not. The needlepoint’s floral motif (very nice) is too round for the oval stool. It could look forced and ill fitting. Remove the 70’s, keep the buttons. If the wood needs covering … drill 4 holes where the buttons are, glue down foam, cover the stool in fabric, reattach the buttons with wire, then floss to cover the wire. Also include buttons on the bottom. Pull the buttons tightish to create dimension. What a fun surprise to have buttons on the bottom. For the fabric, repurposing an unusable quilt or chenille or flour sack or corduroy- something textural and recycled. Just a thought. The chunky needle point, needs that chunky frame (trust me, I’m chunky,too). Cut a piece of cardboard for the frame’s back opening (only slightly smaller). Push the needlepoint into the frame with the cardboard. You’ll know immediately. The frame needs the cardboard no matter what. Then style the chunky framed rose on a dresser top. The chunky frame is probably able to free stand. Another surprising and unexpected use of an object d’art. Sorry I didn’t agree about the needlepoint. LOVE, love your sunglasses!!

The needlepoint would be gorgeous on the stool!! I think I'd try the chunky frame and if it doesn't sell you can always change it out later. Congratulations on your 2nd booth space!

16:50 is showing that stunning brown and blue vase! It’s gorgeous!

You may know this already but with crostitch and needlework pieces, beofre you frame them, put a fluffy towel down on your ironing board (or table if no board) and set iron to steam, put project front sike down and press the back side. Using a towel, allows the piece to look more profeshional and kinda puffs it up. I've done alot of counted crosstitch, but now have macular degerneration so can no longer do it due to low vision. Love your channel! Sorry for my typos. :)

Leave the stool I pass up needlepoint stools often, I think it'll sell as is. I do though pick up needlepoint pieces like that that I sell just as they are. I love the frame and rose together.

I would leave this stool alone because it is adorable. The hardware underneath are called tacks. I used to take the tacks out of my dad's shoes for 1 penny apiece back in the 60's. He was a master upholsterer. I find so many old stools that are in bad shape. Those are the ones to do over, plus the needlepoint you have needs something more feminine to go on. imho ❣ Noelle Stiles

I like the wood frame for your rose needlepoint

Congrats on the new booth space ! Re: the stool - my vote goes to see what’s under the current covering. Re: chunky frame / rose needlepoint combo- I think the chunk vs red colour pop is too strong a fight !! I see dainty vs chunk in that frame. Besides, too much work to make it fit . Loved the vlog. Thanks Andi .

I like idea of needlepoint stool and that frame is very good for this

$3.99 for that music box what a steal! Love all your finds.

Love the needlepoint idea on the stool

I lived all my life in Oregon until 6 yrs ago and I miss all of the great collectible places there. I am in Georgia and it isn't great for collectors high end quality items at the thrift stores here. Miss Portland and all areas around there.

Hi Andi! I like the idea of reupholstering the stool- that’s a pretty floral design. I also love the chunky frame. P.S. Your booth is gorgeous and your style is so warm and inviting! Tiny Brambles is such a cute title for a vintage spot❤Congratulations on the new booth space🥰🤘🎉

Congrats on your second boothspace, woohoo! Cant wait to see it all set up. I loved those two little paintings right at the beginning that you are keeping for yourself too. As far as the needlepoint on the stool... its a yes from me. And I love that thick frame with the needlepoint. Its unexpected and I think goes so well.

When I buy an item to resell and want to keep it, I list it, then enjoy it in my decor until it sells. And I put a note in the SKU field as to where it is in my home.

The stool with the beautiful tapestry will look so pretty, I think you should do it but I will be curious to see what is under the original upholstery, I hope you let us know. And I LOVE the chunky frame with the cute little stitched rose piece. Your booth looks so good and congratulations with the new booth. You are one busy woman!! Good luck with all of the fun adventures😀

Hi Andi! Congratulations on the second booth space. Can't wait to see you fill it up with your beautiful finds. Definitely recover the stool or leave it without cover if the wood underneath is good. I think the chunky frame is overwhelming for that lovely needlepoint. I'm sure you'll find the perfect frame for it.❤

I vote for using the needlepoint on the stool!! I’m on the fence about the frame!

Stool as is looks a bit grotty, wood or lovely tapestry would be lovely x

Definitely remove the existing cover on the stool. I like the needlepoint for the stool but cant commit because I dont know what is under the ugly fabric. I think that smaller needlepoint looks great in the chunky frame. It is a bold floral and can handle it. if you need it to be a bit larger to fit you could always add a couple of rows of needlepoint in a "frame" of coordinating color around the current needlework.

Either wood or needlepoint for stool, chunky frame is good.Congrats on new space.

Definitely uncover the stool

Love, love, love the roses/frame. My style.

I like the original stool

Do the needlepoint on the stool

Yes, I would put the needlepoint on the stool, for sure! Regarding the needlepoint art in the chunky frame, I think the frame is too bold for the piece. 😊 great video-- I love the variety of the content!

Show us the stool when you get the cover off! If the wood is nice, leave it. Otherwise, I'd do the needlepoint.

yes change the foot stool to needlepoint.

Yes to needlepoint

Ditch the nubby fabric on the stool, see how it looks, then decide. The chunky frame is fine for the needlepoint because it is quite a bold needlepoint.

Congrats on the new booth space

Absolutely yes to using the needlepoint to reupholster the stool!!

Can’t wait to visit your booth(s) on my next trip to Oregon!

Andi if something is stinky just put it in the bag tie it and put it in the freezer for few days.

Congratulations on your 2nd booth space! Very exciting for you...and overwhelming, I'm sure :-). I think you need to see if the stool is good enough wood. If so, I'd leave the wood. If not, then definitely the needlepoint. Looking forwatd to seeing the finished project...but, no pressure!

Hi Andi. Regarding the stool - i like the original fabric and think it looks good, but the buttons should go. However, covering it with the needlepoint would be really fabulous. I think it depends on how much effort/time you have to put into it. Either option is very nice. I love the chunky frame with the needlepoint. Really great haul!

Love the frame and needlepoint together

Reupholster the stool and I love the chunky frame-really suits the needlework ❤

Congratulations! That’s awesome and so exciting!!

If you do use the needlepoint I would find a way to tack it to a thin piece of plywood or some thin board, and then tacking that to the stool. I worry about the needlepoint coming undone if you just tack it on with nails to the original stool like it is now.

❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼congratulations my friend

I would leave it like it is

Curious to see what is under the fabric on the stool! Love the brass pieces!

Instead of covering the stool with the needlepoint, I think the needlepoint should be framed instead. With the light background of the needlepoint I can picture it getting dirty too quickly if it has people actually putting their feet up on it and it would be hard to clean. You definitely need to recover the stool though as the existing fabric doesn’t look good to me and no to the buttons either. Of course it the existing wood looks good by itself recovering would not be necessary.

I love the needlepoint to recover the stool idea.

One of my neighbors grew up in Tigard. Congrats on the new space!

I love your channel. ....my opinion .. I don't like the chunky frame with the needlepoint... You absolutely have great taste as you know 😊 After watching you..which is only 3-4 months.. I picked up a poppy floral original..oil/ latex I wasn't sure for $3 at a thrift shop..I loved it..didn't want to part with it but money got in the way..$ 30..it was unframed

The needlepoint would look beautiful on the stool! I still love the needlepoint ottoman you have with your chair. What a find! How nice that you have your mom help you source, especially that you have a second booth. It's nice to have someone who likes the same things. Good luck!

Congratulations on your second booth space my shiny beautiful friend!!💜😁I love Curiosities!! I like having 2 spaces myself, gives me more reasons to source!! 😉. I love the needle point for the stool and I love the chunky frame with the other needle point!! Also, I love that floral piece with the frame of grapes!! Great finds as usual!!

Yes to the needlepoint on the stool and also for the chunky frame.

I'd LOVE to see the wood under the stool and if it's good as is, leave it. Otherwise, if it's not great wood, the needlepoint would look wonderful. I also think the chunky frame look fun with the rose needlepoint - a nice juxtaposition of more modern frame with traditional art. Thanks as always for your videos. I really enjoy them. ~ Kris

The needlepoint would be gorgeous on the stool! Love it!

Definitely reupholster with the needlework . The thick frame is perfect for the other needlework

Congrats on everything! The stool will sell faster with the needlepoint! As for the thick frame.... needlepoint will sell in/on anything.❤❤❤

Also yes to the chunky frame and other needlepoint!!

The needlepoint is fantastic!

Wonderful that you are expanding to a 2nd antique booth space, Andi! You can do it! And yes, redo the stool:)

Great video! Love that you share all the details!❤

I think the flower needlepoint/tapestry is much too beautiful for the stool. I think the stool is fine the way it is. I think the tapestry deserves a beautiful or even simple frame to display it. I also think the big thick frame is too chunky for the flower needlepoint. I love the green ornate framed object which looks like decoupage to me. Your taste is beautiful, and it is much appreciated.

Frame is pretty for red flower needlepoint too

Yes to both projects! I think you’ll make some good money on that stool, I sold a few upholstered ones and the margins are so good ❤️ Congratulations on your second booth! 🤩

Congrats on getting a 2nd booth! I love the merchandising aspect of it myself. If I wasn't all the way across the country, I would definitely shop your booth!

Yay! I sell at Curiosities. Excited to finally meet you and welcome to the fam:) Also, love the chunky frame and go for the reupholstry!! xRebecca x PinkSunVintage

I know you mentioned in other videos the trend moving from warm metals to cool metals. I was wondering if you are seeing it in your sales? Are the cool metals selling more? Also, would love to know how you pack your framed art pieces for shipping? Do you have a video on that?

I do not see the ornate painting in your Etsy shop I want it( love the chunky frame and the stoll refresh yes…

I REALLY want that piece with the incredible frame!!! I don't see it on Etsy... Do you know when you'll have it up?

No leave it like it is

Hi Andi! Love your channel. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see some of your affordable art projects, putting cut up pictures from books into frames. Do you just cut it out and frame it? Thanks! Rebecca

I vote for removing woven fabric and ideally will be a well preserved wood service. Can always recover

The stool is great but I would definitely recover. I can’t believe you paid $3.99. That is so cheap.

Frame too chunky. Cover the stool. Booth looks great.

I would change out the stool with the needlepoint. The frame does not look good to me with the bright newish rose needlepoint, imho. An old small oil painting, maybe abstract would look good with that chunky frame.

I have a question about Etsy….pottery. Often I can’t tell if it’s vintage. It is signed but no date. I don’t know if it’s worth listing and getting dinged by Etsy as not vintage even though I think it is. Your thoughts?

Brass is not a thing where I live in California. So strange how different areas are.

Hi watch your channel often, I have tried to start an Etsy store to sell items, it was difficult for me I was wondering if there is a support system on the site for assistance?

Do you charge a fee when you pick up something in a video for a client?

Sad!

Your antique store prices are incredibly cheap compared to Dallas. Also, please call the “bird” an eagle which it clearly is. Eagles aren’t just any old bird.
