Bold Bright Beautiful Bench

Bold Bright Beautiful!

I think

I had a Pier One bench that really needed an update.

before pics in outerspace

I took it apart and spray painted the frame and legs with Valspar glossy white.

The fabric is from Jo-Ann's

An orange pillow added for today anyway.

I wasn't sure I was going to like this bench until I added more DIY projects - subway art,  a chalkboard and a spray painted ampersand.

Upholstering this bench was easy!  It takes A LOT of staples and some muscels.

To finish it off nice, I stapled felt to the bottom. more staples!

This is a quote by Mother Teresa and was always one of my favorites.  So when I saw this tutorial here: I am Momma - Hear me Roar, I knew I had to make it!  So, I did!

Bench: Before and After

Who doesn't Love a cute bench?   On the porch, in the entry way  in a playroom or a kids room, with some pillows of course.

This bench is solid wood and well built, but it had seen better days.  The wood was flaking and dry.
Nothing that some sand paper and paint couldn't fix!


BEFORE:

And it has storage!

Thanks everyone for the Etsy Love for Gee Gee!

My cute Grandson will be drawing a name out of a hat for the winner on Friday!

Bench Before and After!

This is one cool old bench!

I am sure in its day it graced someones entry way and was loved!

 With a little bit of paint and some new fabric, it has a new life! It now sits in my daughters entry way and is loved again!

We changed the fabric a couple of times to get the look she wanted!  For now she is happy, but we change our mind A LOT!  A mirror and a pillow has been purchased and when she decides they are the right ones, I will take a picture!  Did I say, we change our mind A LOT. . .

Between my computer having a virus, and having this beautiful baby Cash and his mom Paige visiting for a week, I have been missing in action! It has been a good week!
