Up-Cycled Southwestern Bench
Hi Friends!
As many of y'all know, I've been spending a skilful total of fourth dimension inwards the garage trying to select scheme in addition to business office to this space.
Well, it's taking forever because every fourth dimension I motion something, an stance pops inwards my caput in addition to then, I get working on whatever that stance is. Today's projection is the perfect event of it.
First, allow me say y'all a picayune story...
Five years agone I was looking for a dresser for my daughter's room (time does flies!)... After a long search, I hold upwardly decided to larn an larn this 1 (picture below). Well built, enough of storage in addition to a skilful cost $50. BUT...
I didn't similar the legs in addition to the scalloped top - likewise bulky for the room.
So, the dresser amongst the "Runny Legs" every bit my miss named it, got a makeover. You tin dismiss read everything almost it right HERE.
This is how the dresser looks inwards her room nowadays.
As for the Runny Legs, Mr. RLC made certain to shop them out of the agency - Oh my, WAY out!
Bringing that affair downward to the flooring when I was create to install the pegboard was scary! :/
Anyways, I've been tossing this frame around, non knowing where to position it. And no, I didn't desire to select it upwardly at that spot again, otherwise other v years are going to wing by.
So, afterwards a skilful expect at it, the stance of the bench arrived.
In lodge to select its superlative up, since the frame's solely 10" from the floor, I created some other frame out of plywood. It was attached to the legs amongst steal holes.
After a skilful sanding, it was create for paint. However, every bit y'all tin dismiss run into on the correct film above, the frame was a chip on the smallish side.
As a agency to encompass that mistake, in addition to to brand a ameliorate transition betwixt both frames. I grabbed the solely molding I had inwards my stash: Half circular ½"
Ahhh, looking better! :) Ready for caulking in addition to paint.
My start programme was to purchase 6" high density foam to job for the bench top. Wowzers! I didn't retrieve how expensive that stuff is. The 1 yard I needed - 5" foam would've cost around $50 - coupons included at Jo-Ann fabrics.
As y'all tin dismiss see, I didn't receive got that route. Instead, I went to my basement in addition to dusted 2 3" pieces I had inwards at that spot since who knows when. Put them together amongst spray adhesive in addition to onto the top board.
The top handling was the solely affair I bought for this makeover - Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 3 x 5 Printed Rug I establish at Five Below.
The upholstered mensuration was actually slow - Rug - 2 skilful layers of batting, the 3" high density foam, in addition to hold upwardly the board on top. Bringing the carpet tightly to the top board to staple it inwards place.
Lastly, the top was secured to the base, in addition to cut back was added to encompass the gap.
I LOVE the Southwestern pattern on this rug. It feels similar driblet cloth stuff simply 3 times thicker. I also had that cut back inwards my stash, I intend I bought it similar 2 years agone at T.J. Maxx.
Home-made chalk pigment was used, giving it a calorie-free distressing.
As much every bit I similar this bench, I receive got to select it amongst me to the side yesteryear side flea marketplace sale, I don't receive got infinite for it inwards my home.
But hey, I'm thence glad I hold upwardly position those legs to skilful use!
Now I take away to larn in addition to complete cleaning that garage, let's run into what other stance pops up. :)
For to a greater extent than Up-cycled projects banking concern agree these out:
