Quickie Bench Redo!
Hello! With little ones running around...I am always in a hurry to get my makeover projects done FAST!
This is a little bench someone gave me...it was a shocking gold...so I softened it with a white spray job.
 I had a piece of foam I used for the cushion.
I covered the foam in a vintage white pillowcase and then hotglued some lace around it! That's right I hot glued the lace (sewing ladies brace yourselves...) GIGGLE! Hey, it worked and saved me alot of time! LOL
BELOW BEFORE PIC
Yup, there it is my hot glue gun! (One day I will learn to sew and have time for it, don't notice my starched up crafting surface, yikes, guess its time for a new cover)!
AFTER
A delightful quickie shabby makeover....took me less than an hour total! Gotta love that!
Thank you for stopping by I am joining for some fun DIY projects http://olgapoltava.blogspot.com/.
Have a lovely and blessed day!
Hugs,
Olivia
