Benched

I ran across a neat website recently, www.laylagrayce.com Though it has some fabulous items (especially digging on the Amy Butler rugs - yum!), the prices can be a bit, should I say, out of my reach (?).

For instance, this lovely little bench below, though adorable, carries a hefty price tag of $850! Yikes!

My DIY radar brain which is always on the lookout for repurposing things, recently saw this sad little bench sitting outside our friend's neighbor's house. Yes, it needs some desperate TLC, but I think with a little paint and new upholstery, this little gem could look just as fabulous as the $850 model. And the best part, I snagged it for free....and that's the best price you could ask for :o)
