I have a lot of projects going on right now! I am finishing up the loft and the guest room. I have also started the bookcases in the den, which is turning into a really BIG project!
The piano bench was a fun little project to work on. I found the bench at a flea market and planned to use it for a bench at the end of the bed in the guest room. I got it for $20.00.
I decided to go with ASCP in duck egg. I bought this little pot awhile ago. I used it on my kitchen chairs under Graphite. I have never used it alone, so was excited to try it.
Since there was no padding on this bench I added my own. I glued together two of these foam pads. ($1.99)
I was going to use this gray burlap fabric I already had. Once I had it all stapled on I realized the weave was too loose over the foam pad, the pad showed right through! Not a good look!
I ran over to Hobby Lobby and for $3.00 bought this chevron fabric. It is spot on for matching with the Duck Egg paint color. I stapled that right over the burlap.
**I left out pictures for that step. I was able to unscrew the top of the bench. That made covering it soooo much easier. I placed the foam pad down. Stapled the burlap fabric over the foam pad. Then the chevron fabric over the burlap. Easy! Except I had an extra step in there with the burlap!
I used two coats of ASCP and covered it in a coat of clear wax.

I love the legs on this bench with the gold on the bottoms.
This little bench will be perfect! I love little projects like this one. :)
