The best holiday every.
I've been waiting to share this little project until it was seasonally appropriate, so here we go. When we moved into our new house, I knew I wanted a long bench for our entryway and I knew I wanted to cover it with Pendleton wool. That was the dream.
We found this little number using the power of the internet and it was a good fit. However, the leg was very much broken and because of several past failed attempts to fix it by previous owners and because of wanting to make a weird bench, I decided that the whole leg needed to go.
I added a non-matching leg because that's how I do.
Behold! My Frankenbench!
Okay, so. I am very aware that it is actually a Frankenstein's monster bench, but come on. Frankenbench! Frankenbench! Frankenbench!
Anyway, I stuck it in our entryway for a while until I had time to paint and reupholster. I threw one of my favorite quilts on top because I just could not look at the actual seat upholstery.
This picture was taken because look how many staples the upholsterer before me used at this corner, but it is also a picture of how very leopard print the seat of this bench used to be. The excess of staples was the same elsewhere. I removed so many staples. And after I removed them, I found, that's right. Another row of staples that the person before me just covered over instead of removing. I removed so many GD staples that day. Also, I painted the frame.
So here's my finished Frankenbench!
Also, BOO! Happy Halloween.
