Thought I'd show you my new zebra pillow cover I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond.
My bench that is…took me a while even after I had finished the stool that was my mom’s, I know I sure meant to but life gets in the way sometimes and we all know what that is like! So this morning as I was visiting your blogs and some of the parties out there today… I really got inspired. I had to find some project that didn’t take up alot of time though since I had to go to Sydney’s school and read to her class and I wanted the project to be done before then because later I work 5 to 10!
So here it is, so very easy to do for those that are new to this or just starting out like me:) It also looks so neat!!! I just used painters tap, black craft paint and a staple gun.
These are MY tools, Mr. K had bought these for me when we were dating and they are for women’s hands, I don’t know about you but I just can’t handle men’s tools, to big for my hand.
This is the staple gun and works like a charm and fits my hand just right!
Here’s what it looks like now, I paid $15.00 for the bench at a yardsale and $3.00 for the black ticking pillow, brandnew, at another yardsale!
I’ll be moving it to the diningroom soon!
This is what it looked like in the very beginning, from the 70’s era!
The first time I redid it which I did like but I’m sort of moving away from that style in small ways it seems…
and now♥
I read today in Sydney’s class it was Cat in the Hat day, I took a picture of her and her classmates in her 3rd grade class.

I love the new finish on the bench! It looks awesome. Did you use osnaburg fabric? You did a super job.
Love it! How cute your daughter is with her classmates. I worked the book fair all day today, those kids are so darn cute!
Rondell- What a cute little class of girls! Love that picture!
Your bench turned out great! What's the matter...you didn't like the 70's orange cushion and woody-wood look? Seriously?;>) It looks great...the cushion and the whole thing put together- NICE JOB! xxoo Diana

I just love a bench and yours is so cute!
I love the bench that you did. It is so fresh and beautiful looking. I would look to sit there with an ice tea and a great book. You amaze me on how talented you are. you can do it all. I wish you could rub off some of that talent on me...I also LOVE the fabric you use!
Thanks a bunch for sharing!!
