Look what I did!

It was an old bench that my mom was going to throw away. I've watched enough HGTV to think that I could change it up.

Naturally, I thought of taking "Before" pictures after I had sanded down one side. It was a dark walnut? color, and the cushion was a medium dark green. I believe the piece came from my grandparent's house.

The paint (and primer) were the same as what I used for our downstairs bathroom. I added a 1" layer of foam to new batting for the cushion. And the fabric was one of my many impulse buys from JoAnn's Fabric Store. (Now that I know the basics of using my sewing machine, a fabric store is a dangerous place for me to be.)
