You see, months ago I saw this bench at Target and knew it had to be mine. Did I have a spot for it? No. Did I care? No. Was it over-priced? Yes. So I waited for this beauty to go on sale. It finally did so I bought it. It then went on sale even more, so after a couple store swapping scenarios, I got the bench I wanted at the final clearance price. It was a win-win situation if you ask me. :) Now all's I needed to find was a perfect spot for her. I decided the spare room would be the spot.
My spare room was needing attention. Little did I realize how much attention it would get because of this small bench. I still have a couple more things to add, like a possible headboard, replacing the picture on the side of the bed with something else and probably a bigger side table, but other than that, I can happily say that the room is just about complete. Looking back at the picture below, I didn't ever realize how boring the old room was. Nothing like a good bench find to get your butt in gear and spice up your old space!
I started by taking out the carpet to expose the wood floor, painted the trim white and ditched the old, metal mini blinds to larger, wood blinds.
Of course I had to keep a basket of toys out for when my four legged brother and niece come over. And see that pink-legged stool in the second picture up from here? I bought that thing at a flea market for $2. It had a ripped seat with fabric from the 80's, and the legs were black. I cleaned it up, gave it a fresh coat of paint and re-stuffed and re-covered the seat and called it done. Not too shabby for a $2 stool.
Cute! I can't remember, are the walls blue, white or gray?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! They are a very light blue.
