The Three Dollar Bench



This is another of my thrifty finds where the true beauty was hidden. I didn't take any before pictures because my friend at http://magnoliabenddrive.blogspot.com/invited me over to paint this lovely with some Annie Stone chalk paint and I was so excited that I forgot the camera and before I even remembered that I hadn't taken the pictures she was painted and ready to be glazed! So let me tell you how she looked. She was dark brown and had a red, white and blue piece of fabric safety pined on the cushion and ricked of cig. smell. No wonder they only wanted $3.00 for her! I do have these pictures of what was under the fabric and of course her coming out pictures!



Under the vinyl was a felt pad.

You ladies that can upholster I'm so impressed with you. It is much harder than I thought to get the corners right.

Not to bad for my first time cutting the foam and recovering something!

Pretty snazzy for a sewing machine bench!

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.
