Bench before and after...

A long, long time ago, I bought an incredibly ugly bench I found on Craigslist. The bench was 100% covered in ugly floral fabric and Mr. W thought I was 100% crazy for buying it. But I had been wanting a bench for our bedroom forever and saw definite potential in this one. So, I bought it, ripped off all the floral fabric, sanded down the legs and then left it for sitting there naked for months. Why? Because I was looking for the perfect fabric and perfect paint for the legs. After finally making up my mind, I painted the legs a soft shade of gray and recovered the cushion in a pretty blue-green fabric. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
