A little black bench

We had this Heywood Wakefield bench in our barn for over 5 years. I loved the style, but the maple finish...not.so.much!
A wall in our great room was really needing a nice place to rest. A place to display our favorite antique quilt, a gift from our favorite Aunt Joane.
We decided to paint the bench, GASP! Yep we painted a Heywood Wakefield bench! We did not change anything structurally, just the finish. So, if down the line someone LOVES a maple finish, it can be restored.













In the meantime, we LOVE the black bench!
What's your opinion?
We'd really like for you to see our drop cloth dining room chair covers,
here, our other Heywood Wakefield make-over, here. or our very cool tripod lamp retro-fit, here.

ho-hum needs a make-over!

I have been the all-time great procrastinator with all things bloggy. So it is only right that I come back to the blog-o-sphere by participating in a Procrastinator's Party.
The Inspired Room has the best party going! It's to give a little shove to all of us out there with unfinished projects, to procrastinate no more!
So, I am back and we are going to make-over a Heywood Wakefield buffet in our great room that is just plain ho-hum. By October 20th I hope this little corner really sings! Stay tuned!
