In the dog days of summer the heat is making it really hard to get projects done so I’m opting for smaller ones. A small sense of accomplishment is better than NO sense of accomplishment. The big ones can wait for the more comfortable days in September and October.
This week I did a quick redo on a nice little bench that I recently acquired. It has nice lines and good bones.
Very dated though and in need of a little TLC.
Removing the old fabric revealed that the bench is pretty old. You don’t see this type of fiber fill/batting anymore.
Then there were all the annoying little nails to remove on the back but, surprisingly, they popped off easily with the simplest of tools.After a little love……..
Tada!
Nice legs!So with my very humble project, I am linking up to Make It For Monday over at Cottage Instincts. I am headed there now for more inspiration.
Very cute! I love the black. Lisa~
