before and after: bench project

pretty_bench.jpg

[sorry for the slow loading time right now- i'm on the phone with our hosting service as we speak]

d*s reader miranda sent in this fantastic “after” project she finished using her grandmother’s bench. after sanding down the bench she repainted the frame in a cheerful pale blue and used affordable ikea fabric to reupholstery the seat. miranda didn’t have a before shot but the photo below was a dead ringer in color and condition so we added it to give an idea of how far the piece has come. stay tuned for another before/after at 1pm that’s also part sneak peek! [thanks, miranda!]

[have a before and after project you'd like to share on d*s? just shoot me a line with your photos right here]

I feel so inspired! I want to search craigslist for freebies now so I can do my own furniture face lift!

yes, i mentioned above that it wasn’t the same bench. she didn’t have a before picture so we found a similar bench in color and condition.

LOVE the fabric, and the light green and blue are my two favorite colors! I’m in love.

Hi Grace,

Really stupid, sorry for that! It just caught my eye, did’t read your text carefully.
