Over Spring Break, I decided it was time for a bench update! I purchased this bench several years ago when we first moved to Arizona. It had served us well. An extra seat when needed, a place to pile stuff, and something to just look pretty. However, it was starting to wear down...
the seat was falling apart. At first I thought it was just normal wear and tear and then suddenly the wear started to speed up, way up. After further investigating and questioning, I realized the were a few fingers responsible for the wear and tear.
These cute little fingers were destroying my bench. It had reached the point where something had to be done. So I decided an update was in order.
I started by spray painting the entire bench white.
And did a little sanding to create a distressed look.
Next I fired up my trusty glue gun to fix up the seat. It's not perfect, but it's better.
Then I sewed two panels of black and white polka dot fabric.
I dug out some sticky back velcro.
I added the velcro to both edges of the fabric panel.
And slipped the panel on. I had sewn two panels and in the end decided one would suffice. Looks much better don't-cha-think!?!?
I am pretty happy with how the bench update turned out! Enjoy:)
