My sweet sister in law Darcy called me the other day from our local thrift shop and relayed some seriously valuable information (at least it was to me). There was a lonely ottoman/bench calling my name at the shop. Just sitting there. Calling MY name (meaning, this thing is right up your alley so you must come see & buy it). Sure enough, I saw it, and bought it. It was full of potential and it was all MINE! Muwahahahahahh.
Anyway, Here is the before:
What do I do when something is blah. I chic-ify it. See.......
Chic-ified baby! Ooh La la! Ok, I know leopard print may not be for everyone, but it is definitely for me (& hopefully it's for someone at the flea market). I feel like it has sort of a Ballard Designs appeal, no?? Just look at all that shabby chic goodness ;)
I love how it came out and if I had any space left in this house of mine, I would definitely keep it. But, unless you want to see me on the next episode of "Hoarders: Buried Alive," I better sell sell sell!!!

ReplyDeleteSuper cute! You're right, it was totally boring before. You gave it a fun, new life! And I'm sure someone will see it and it will be the perfect bench for them ;)
