Simple and Pretty Bench

This is one of those projects that I'd put off, but now that it's done, I wish I'd done it months ago.  It only took me a few hours for paint, wax and a slipcover.



 The end result is so simple and pretty.

 

 Here it is in all it's previous glory.   It is so versatile and has been all around our house, but I had kept throws over it to hide it.  It's great in the hall, at the foot of the bed, subbing as a coffee table, or at the breakfast table.

 

Now it will be much prettier as it moves around.

 

I used Annie Sloan Country Grey and Old White, with a coat of clear wax and then a coat of dark wax.

 

I pulled some trusty drop cloth out to make the slipcover. 

 

Its just one piece for the top, piping and a knife pleat ruffle.

 

Sweet and Simple.
