This is an old piano bench that I picked up at Goodwill about 4 months ago...
Isn't she a beauty? I love the carved detail on the legs and the fact that it could be a really neat storage piece...
Oh, what sorts of treasures could I put in here?
It was covered in this lovely burnt orange (really more the color of baby poop!) crushed velvet...
So with a little Rustoleum White Spray Paint and striped fabric I found in the clearance bin for $4 a yard at Hancock's, the bench now looks like this...
I apologize for the "shadowy" pics. I was taking them at night and trying not to use the flash.
Total cost of this little 30 minute project? $22 ($15 for the bench, $4 for fabric, $3 spray paint)
I don't know exactly where I will put it yet, but for now, it's in front of the tall mirror in my foyer. Maybe I will put umbrellas in the storage compartment!

Your piano bench looks great with that beautiful fabric. It looks very nice in your foyer, too.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Thanks you guys! It was so much fun to "doctor up"!
I enjoyed visiting your beautiful blog & I'll be stopping by again! I love the projects where you've refurbished pieces. I'm just starting to get up the nerve to do this kind of thing & it's so fun! Thanks for the inspiration!

Remember - F, VVS, VS, SI and I - the most
valuable at the start of the scale. The second option will require more diamonds but will give the engagement ring a fuller appearance.
The colour grade of a diamond is determined by looking at it on an angle and is often hard
to determine with the naked eye.
