I was recently asked by one of my clients if I could makeover a small bench that had been passed down to her from an aunt. The bench was very sturdy and we both thought it could make a nice addition to her entryway area as a place to sit down and put on your shoes. She was thinking maybe a black color, but I encouraged her to stay with a light color that would blend in with the walls, yet stand out against the wood floors. I will be taking the bench to her tomorrow. I hope she likes it as much as I do!

| Here is the bench before we painted it and added a new cushion. |
 |
| After selecting the fabric, I gave it a coat of paint using Annie Sloane chalk paint in "Old White". |
 |
| My seamstress made the new cushion using a very durable, but comfortable fabric. I had her add the two buttons to give it just a bit more personality. |
 |
| Amazing how a little paint and some new fabric can bring new life to an old piece of furniture! |
