More Cushion...

Just to show you the last of my

home summer projects....

 

 

I had this antique bench and it

was looking it's age.  The springs creeked

so I looked for a new one.  When I didn't find

anything I liked I decided to redo it.

 

 

I was glad to be able to do this outside.

Kind of icky and dusty.

 

 

Many layers to get to the springs.

 

 

Some of them were broken and

I opted to take them off.

 

 

I was thankful my husband pulled

a zillion old carpenter nails
for me!

 

 

I then attached a top to the wood frame

I felt like this would sturdy it up

 

 

We have a foam factory close by so

I bought a nice thick foam pad

cut specifically to size.

 

 

I then covered the foam with batting

 

 

stapling it underneath

 

 

I then applied the upholstery fabric I bought

 at Hobby Lobby. I went with

 something neutral that would

go with different colors since it goes

at the end of my bed.  This way it would go

with different color schemes when

I change out my bedding colors. 

I decided to put trim

on it to break up the space visually.

 I used masking tape as a guide to

where I would apply my decorative trim.

I just hot glued it on.

 

  

and tada the finished product at the end

of the bed.   I think it looks more up to date

and is comfortable to sit on with more cushion.

Not to mention all nice and clean and

practically all new.
