I don't think anybody uses a foot stove anymore. It's basically a wooden box that is open on one side, with holes at the top. A ceramic or metal container in which glowing coals were put, was placed in the stove. And then you'd put your feet on the stove so that they would warm up.
I love the look of this thing, it's like a tiny cabinet. But the brown colour made it look old-fashioned and not in a good way. So I gave it a lick of light blue paint, and then added a small white cloud.
I once made a mini quilt with little hearts which came in handy here : I put it inside the stove, so now it is just like a cosy fairy-tale castle!
