How this mum used $8 Kmart serving platters to makeover her kitchen barstools

Now this is genius! - by Nikki Black
  • 12 Feb 2019

Have your barstools seen better days, but you don’t want to go to the expense of replacing them altogether?

Well we have just the hack for you!

How this mum used $8 Kmart serving platters to makeover her kitchen barstools

Clever mum Kayla has taken to the awesome Kmart Mums Australia Facebook group to share her clever makeover tip, and we couldn’t love it more. 

Using $8 serving platters from the budget superstore, Kayla revealed how they gave her kitchen barstools a new lease of life. 

‘When you break a $25 dollar Aldi stool with a crappy upholstery job, you could buy a whole new stool, OR you could buy an $8 serving platter?’ she writes. ‘Consider it fixed!’

That’s right - Kayla just removed the upholstered tops from the barstools and attached or glued the serving platter down instead. Genius!

With the post, Kayla shared two photos - one of her stools with the ‘crappy’ upholstery job and the other with the serving platter hack. And what a difference!

Says one Facebook follower: ‘Now that’s a hack!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻’

Said another: ‘They should be ashamed of their job, yours is fantastic!’ 

Added a third: ‘They are awesome!’

Wrote one more: ‘I thought for a second you had done the upholstery on the stools 😬. The serving platter looks way better!’
