So I bought it home, sanded it, primed it, sanded it again, painted it with ivory white and then lightly distressed it. For the seat I bought some beautiful blue linen and recovered it! No more faded pink in sight!
It was sold as soon as I took to What's In The Box! Just goes to show what a bit of love and persistence can do!!!

Very cute! I love the transformation! Stopping by from Tuesday's Treasures.
ReplyDeleteI love your 'French Provincial" stool...looks gorgeous. I looked at the structure and noticed it seemed suited to become a glass-topped side table as well. Very lovely. Thanks for sharing. I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well on my blog at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteThat is lovely now! It must be so fun to re-do something and then find someone who loves it.
ReplyDeleteHave a super day!

I have a similar bench in our master bedroom, but it is longer. It was a reddish mahogany with a dirty cover when I got it for a still at an auction. I agree. I love repurposing.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out awesome! Love the linen seat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking it up @ Creatively Living!
