Before and After
I swear this is the last craft post before I get back to booze. I have a series of delicious drink recipes to share very soon.
This project is very important to me; it was the first project I started by myself, and completed without needing any help. From the sanding, to painting, to picking out the fabric, to sewing, I could make it my project. I had really high hopes for it, but due to the breakup last year, I lost sight of the inspiration that I usually cherish to finish projects and push myself to meet my goals. Now that I am in what I feel to be a new chapter of my life, I found a new motivation to get it finished. Transformation seems to be the underlying theme lately. Taking the negative (or maybe just flawed or outdated) and turning it into something useful and beautiful. So, here it is. The super cute, yet slightly outdated thrift-store bench turned super mod. Enjoy!


Very nice! I confess…I didnt hate it before though…LOL…You know I love living in a previous century…My house is 50′s…My make up is all 80′s…You did great though. Love the fabric on the back pillows…And I love new chapters…It takes nothing away from the book, the old chapters are still there, but you cant get to the end if you dont flip the page!! Good luck to you!!
Haha Thanks Dawn. If you want the old zipper pillow cases with the old pattern on it, let me know
