I’m feeling a bit more like royalty today, since I found the perfect little bench for my master bathroom vanity. I snagged this little bench off Craiglist for $10 that had (allegedly) “never been used” by the owner….

  1. great job! I have picked up a few of these little benches over the years and they are just in storage waiting for me to transform them! Maybe this will be my push to get them done. Thanks!

  2. Fabulous. I love that fabric. I’ve been looking for a bench to go at the foot of our bed, so I’ll save your wonderful tutorial!

  3. just found your blog from Living With Lindsay. and OMG! love it! I had to grab me a cup of tea and an now going through all your DIY projects. We are cut from the same cloth girlfriend! Lovely home!

  4. I love it love it! I picked up a bench yesterday at Goodwill {$3.99!} and plan on redoing it this weekend. I have no idea how to do and was going to wing it but this is a HUGE help!

    It’s a keeper! :)

  5. I love it!! and to be able to buy something for 10 bucks and make it look that great is awesome! :)

  6. Oh!!!! This is exactly what I’m talking about….except I really want to do the tufted one…;) Still searching for the bargain bench. Our neighborhood (620 homes) is having a NEIGHBORHOOD garage sale this weekend…I’ll be on the hunt! Will definitely show some pix. I’ll get there.

  7. Great job! And I love the fabric in your tutorial. I am thinking that is one I’d like for the roman shades I need to make for my bedroom.
    I have not MADE slipcovers yet (my first project is a small chair) but I had a local seamstress make some for me. They turned out great! I have pictures of them on my blog if you wanna see.

  8. I would love to get together for a weekend and just sew with you – wouldn’t that be fun?

  9. Love how it turned out! I agree that it’s best as a slipcover when it comes to make up ;)

  10. Very cute! I love that you did it slipcovered instead of upholstered–great idea!

  11. Hello hunnie, sweet website! I really like this blog post.. I was curious about this for a while now. This cleared a lot up for me! Do you have a rss feed that I can add?
