But today's bench is not particularly chippy. It just started out a little sad and brown. Susan thought it would be really cute with just a little love. She picked it up "in her travels". She just always finds the best sales!
She went for a classic look and painted the bench with two coats of Deco Art Americana satin enamel in black, then found the perfect black and white toile fabric in her stash.
She covered the bench with a piece of one inch foam before adding the fabric. And her mother-in-law was nice enough to help pull the toile tight while Susan stapled it all the way around. This is a project that really comes together nicely with an extra pair of hands.
I have this same toile pattern in green and white in my laundry room.
Pretty, don't you think?

The chippy bench was a real treasure. They sell quickly. Lovely reinvention of the bench from really 'hmm' to a WOW.

That's so funny about Susan's bench, Sharon. I can't tell you how many things I've bought for resale that the Yankee just shook his head about. Yet they were often the first things to sell at shows. lol
The toile-covered bench turned out lovely. I love toile...and chippy. ;) Thanks for linking to the party.

I love it that you thought that bench was too shabby to be loved...and then it was snapped up so fast. I guess everyone has a look they love!!

Coming to you via TT&J. Love the makeover. I'm on the hunt for a bargain bench to re-do. Great inspiration.
That bench is gorgeous! I have the same toile on a chair I re-did but in sage green and white. Beautiful makeover on the bench!
Pretty! Pretty! Pretty! Thanks for sharing at Feathered Nest Friday! :)
I love toile! I used it to make a cushion for a bench in my kitchen and I used the left over to cover a stool. I'm pretty sure it's the same fabric you used :)
