I found a new place to "thrift" shop and I love it, Habit for Humanity Store. I have been twice and both times I left with something. I have been redecorating our home office over the past couple of weeks. I have been wanting a bench and I hit the jackpot.
Here is the before picture:
I only paid $7 for the bench. After some soap and water, spray paint, batting, fabric and a staple gun, I ended up with this.
Here is a close up to show the material.
I am very happy with my bench. (Sorry for the pictures but a photographer I am not!)

I love it! What a treasure. Plus, the money goes to an excellent cause. It's a win all the way around:)
I have a recent fondness for benches and keep bring them home. Yours is a great find and redo.
Thanks for sharing!
Living it up at Lakewood,

I'm IN LOVE with your bench. In my home it would be a ROLL TIDE bench (Univeristy of Alabama) I love the houndstooth fabric! Great find my friend!Thanks for linking up this week!

That bench it divine! Love the legs on her :) Staple guns are such a great tool - I've made my own headboards with wood, batting, fabric and that trusty staple gun.
You may not stop recovering stuff now - better watch out! :)
