The Little Bench

Here are a few more items that I picked up at a nearby estate sale. A little bench and a fabric covered bulliten board. The board looked like it needed some help, the fabric is really dirty and grungy looking. I haven't started on it yet.....it's in my huge "to do" pile. The little bench was actually from Bombay Company & had been reupholstered. The fabric wasn't bad but I had a different idea for it.

I just finished the bench yesterday. I used chalk paint (which I'm sooo addicted too) & clear wax on it. I then reupholstered it again. Put on a sweet vintage angel graphic from The Graphics Fairy on the seat,added fabric flowers & voila, it's done!!! I hope you guys can see the angel, I didn't want it to be too dark. I think it turned out really great. Maybe if I get lucky I could find an old vintage vanity to pair her up with......hmmmm.....

    Hi Katie, your bench is beautiful. You did an excellent job. Thanks so much for sharing. I'm working on a small footstool at the moment, kind of like the bench, but smaller. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
