I bought the second thinking that it was an exact match to the first. It wasn't. The legs are different but fortunately the size is the same. They sat in my storage room until I found this darling fabric. 
It's too light weight for upholstery fabric so I knew that if I were going to use it on a piece of furniture it would have to something that wouldn't be used every day. That's when I remembered the benches. I knew that with a little makeover they would finally find a home.
With a little Mediterranean Blue spray paint to unite them, and cushy new tops for comfort, those worn out benches now look fresh and new.They now reside at the foot of the bed in the guest room.
They finally look right at home!
(And I might have just enough fabric left to cover that small pillow!)

Terrific makeover!! That fabric is perfect in there. I'm so glad it's finally in style, not to match!! It's so much more fun and gives things a little more character, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteCute transformation! I think they are actually benches to go with old sewing machines. Those old singers that are in a table. I have a couple of those old chairs, too and that's what they went with. :-)
ReplyDeletelove the fabric! I actually have a ring sling made out of that fabric.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Good job! They look great in your guest room!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I, too like that they are not exactly the same. Those little subtle differences bring in charm. Great fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW they are so CUTE!! I LOVE the make-over you did on them. The fabric and color are just perfect!

ReplyDeleteAw, those "vane" little benches are awesome! I also love that the legs aren't the same!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.

Perfect, Joy! Great place to put them and, even though the legs are different, they are so close you really don't notice it.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric - my baby sling is made from it. And it is beautiful as benches in your room!

ReplyDeleteSqueal!!! I'm in love.
ReplyDeleteLove the paint color.
Love the fabric.
Love how they look at the end of the bed!
gives me a little inspiration~I have a bench just like one of these. It was handed down to me along with my mothers old cabinet sewing machine that she bought when she was 14, she is 76 now. Mine is just like the one with the leather seat. I am looking forward to recovering the seat. Thanks for inspiring!
