Table Turned Bench

Hey everyone... so I've been working all weekend on getting things ready to go for Ryan's party coming up soon but I thought you might actually want to see something fun.

Remember how I'm addicted to redoing furniture lately?

Well one of my projects I wanted to do was transform this little table:

This used to be the table that our tv sat on in the back living room.

I got it at an antique store for around ten bucks.

But when I did this piece I put our tv on it.

So this was just hanging out.

And we need more seating.

Hence... the bench idea.

Now granted, not a traditional bench. A bench with a drawer and a little higher than most but

it was what was in my head. :)

So here goes...

I painted the base and drawer in antique white. I primed it and everything but the wood didn't like the spray paint very well.

I had to cover up my drips well. :/

Then basically I just glazed that bottom portion.

Sorry I didn't take pictures for the next part but we were inside and it was dark :)

Me and my sister grabbed the little sucker and put a piece of foam on it.

I had to buy a piece and cut it since it was such a weird shaped top.

Then I took my beautiful fabric and stapled it up under the tabletop. It was interesting going around those little legs but it did.

Yes, it did.

Didn't it turn out beautiful?

I wish I had used a thicker piece of foam but, hey, it works.

I figure we can either use it to sit on when we need extra seating but it's firm enough still to put a trap on with some fun accessories :)

It adds color to my back living room... which I'm slowly starting to love.

I love having the drawer on it.

One more time... see how amazing the difference is with a little color?

It stands out.

I love it.

Hope you do too :)
