One bench, two ways

My BF and I both picked up a long bench/ottoman a few years ago for a song. Mine has lived in every room of my house and has had several slip covers.

Last weekend we tackled my BF’s.

Here is the before, blah…

She had picked up this fab piece of fabric remnant and almost gave it away (to me, which was ok. ha ha), but I talked her into using it on her bench. We had it completed in no time and it looks great.

We used a drop cloth on the bottom portion. Clever huh!?

She had originally started hers with a beautiful fabric but didn’t cut the pieces the correct size for reupholstering. She gave it to me and I pieced it together and made it work.  It’s not perfect, but I love it.
