Bench Redo: Before and After

June 7, 2011 by Amanda Formaro

Wow talk about a great looking facelift! From 70’s ick to modern day lovely! I love how Aimee found this old bench on Craigslist and ended up having to trash the old seat completely due to the smell. She refashioned a seat with fresh new foam and some pretty fabric. The white is a welcome change from the 70s wood look. Head over to Wonderfully Domestic to see Aimee’s before and after reading bench.
