I bought this bench because of the beautiful legs, because.....well that's all there was initially.
Restored antique bench
Then I painted the base in Maison Blanche Co. paint, waxed and lightly distressed it.
Close up of Awesomeness!
Then I added the standard: webbing, burlap, new foam, Dacron and then....I wanted something DIFFERENT.


I've seen Swiss Army blankets before. I started looking for originals. Then I discovered that most people said that the ORIGINAL ones were often stiff, and stinky. I don't want 'stinky' on my new bench! Ewww.


So, I purchased a reproduction - it's soft and unstinky.
Then I spent hours of my life that I'll never be able to get back, hammering in a thousand (and some more) nail heads.


And then I looked at it....
Soft and Unstinky.
The Before.
And I was happy.


And yes, it's for sale. So you can be happy too! $425
