the piano bench

11/8/11

Do you recognize this little piano bench? 



I bought it from a thrift store last year for $5.00 looking like this...


Not very cottagey looking that's for sure but a little blue paint and some bargain basement polka dotted fabric totally transformed it into this pretty little side table.


Never one to leave well enough alone, now it's Martha Stewart Cornbread Yellow.


I know I've said it before but I think this is my favorite so far.

Till the next time I'm sure. :)

    I love it in the yellow and of course you perfectly have the fabric topped off with that darling pillow. I am going to e-mail you about getting together with another blogger.

    I love the yellow and the fgabric you chose. Simple little items like this that can be redone easily and when the mood strikes are so great to have around. It can be anything you want so quickly!

    I have a chair that needs to be painted and recovered. Seeing your bench reminds me that I should actually get started on it this winter.

    I love the paint color name also. Cornbread yellow ~ yum.
