Happy Pink Saturday!

Last week as I was taking my daughter to school and on the way I spotted this old piano bench in my neighbors trash. I thought to myself, " I could do a remake on that," I was still in my pajamas and was to embarrassed to stop to pick it up. When I picked up my daughter the bench was still there, so...I made her get it and put it in the back of my truck. I couldn't wait to get home and begin fixing it up.

Here are some pics of the before and after of my remake of the the little old piano bench.


I tore off the old fabric &I lightly sanded it.

The inside wood was broken so I glued it.

 I painted some old wood crack it on it and painted it white. Sanded the edges for an aged look.
I covered the seat using some old vintage Upostry fabric I had. The fabric has a PINK flower stripe design on it.

When I painted the inside I masked out the manufactures lable (Tonk Bench Mfg.Co.Chicago) so I could keep it visable. Then I lined the inside with some vintage PINK rose scented drawer paper.

I am using it as a foot rest as I sit at my computer. It's also a great place to store my printer paper.

As I always say one womans trash is anothers womans treasure.
To see more PINK SATURDAY participants....hop over to Beverly's at

ENJOY!

Excellent. Isn't it amazing how we don't have the courage to rescue something? I could never get myself to do it, but really it is a noble cause! And, yes, I have had other people do it for me. :-)

Thank you so much for posting my giveaway. Happy Pink Saturday!

Great revamp Jany. You make me laugh at making your daughter go get it. I m ade y son go get a whole stack of wallpaper books at the side of the road a while ago. He was like "Why?" He should be used to me by now ... Have a great day.
