Friday, as I was on my way to work, I learned that I actually had the day off. As I turned around on a side street to head back home, I spotted an early morning yard sale, and the itch got me. I scooped up a wall mirror, as well as this little bench.
It was poorly covered and a little dull. It looked like three or four layers of fabric were hanging from the underside as well.
It is amazing what a little paint and fresh fabric can do! I think this will go great in a guest bedroom that I am remodeling!
Bench: $8
Fabric: $5
Paint: $3
Total Cost: $16
Similar Seat in Furniture Store: $129

Love that fabric! So cute. Would you have any pointers on how to create a cushion for the top of a toy chest? You can see the toy chest here

Thank you for all of the sweet comments! I guess it must have been a piano bench at some point, I love the size of it! Tricia, I totally get that you have to keep a certain reputation ;)
Can you go garage sale shopping with us sometime? I am so not creative!

Yep that bench DEFINITELY needed your TLC. It's so much happier now that it's pretty!
I would love a garage sale partner! I have to go solo right now because my husband wants no part of it, he finds it awkward to go to people's homes and rummage through their old things. I, on the other hand, love it!
Wow! I love the fabric! It looks great.
