Hi Friends!
How was last week? This is my busy season with furniture, interior design and running a retail store. That being said, I don’t remember much about last week and I’m pretty sure I don’t have any cute pictures or funny stories to share. That’s the bad news… the good news is, I do have cute furniture to share with you. Just go with it for me. ;) I know furniture pales in comparison to my kiddos cuteness! Lol!
When John came home with this bed, I couldn’t wait to have it be turned into a bench.
I loved the shape of the top and how royal it would feel. John assembled it one day when I wasn’t home and I didn’t plan on the front being designed the way that he did it (without front legs), but he showed me how sturdy it was and I actually loved it in the end!
We painted it with Benjamin Moore’s color Simply White and lightly distressed it. If you want to see how we paint furniture, check out our How to Paint Furniture post.
For the seat, we stained the lumber with a weathered oak stain.
So beautiful, right?? This bench will be available to purchase and you can check out other new furniture for sale on our website here! If you’d like to purchase it, please use our Contact Us form or stop by our store at 272 River Street, Troy, NY. I also added quite a few other new pieces to the store!

Oh my goodness… that is so cool. When I saw the bed in its original state I thought the footboard should be flipped too!!! Great minds…great minds… :)
That is awesome!
