Another Before and After

Remember this bench that I had made out of a old headboard and foot board??? She wasn't looking too good when this picture was taken. I think she was a little undressed.




Here she is with a new coat.....of paint that is. And a thrifted pillow in one of my favorite fabrics. A black toile with.......of course......a rooster in the center :)



I have a couple of choices of finials that I want to add also. I just need to decide which style I want. It's between a fleur de lis and a rooster. What do you think would look better???





I think she is looking pretty good in her new coat (of paint) and even better with some new finials and a new cushion.



Until Later,

  7. That bench is incredible and I seriously want one! I do not have a place for one though, or I'd get my hubby to build me one. The toile pillow looks just perfect on it and I am going to vote for the feur de lis finials, although you know the roosters would be fab too!
