Piano Bench Makeover

I spied this piano bench at my local Salvation Army.  The scary purple upholstery was covered with cat hair but I just knew those carved legs would look great with a bit of paint and distressing.  It also had a sticker from a local auction house which led me to believe it was an older, quality piece.

The catch was the price was a bit more than I would like to pay so I left without it.  After thinking about it all night I went back the next day with my fingers crossed that the bench would still be there.  It was!

So I brought it home and gave it two coats of ASCP in white and lightly distressed it.  The purple upholstery was also removed to reveal hay/grass type stuffing.  I thought that it was neat and pointed to the age of the bench so I left it in place and covered it with new batting.  Then I tacked on aqua chevron fabric I had on hand from a fabulous sale at Fabric.com.

I think this bench would be perfect for an entryway or at the foot of a bed.  I wish I had a better, styled after photo but this baby had to rush out the door to the tag sale where I'm happy to say it sold!

Thanks for visiting!
