A Tale of Two Benches


It was the best of design; it was the worst of fabric. 
My apologies, Chuck.  I couldn't resist.



I loved the oval shape of this vanity bench, but the fabric had to go.  I decided that I'm liking the pink and that some black and white zebra fabric was just what it needed.




The fabric on the second vanity bench wasn't bad at all.



I decided that since orange is predicted to be THE color, that's the way I'd go.   To complement the orange, I used some of the trellis fabric that I had used in my sun room.



I think that the orange vanity bench is my favorite.

FIY a vanity bench is not just for a vanity.  It looks good at the foot of a bed.  Add a tray and it becomes a coffee table or side table/night stand.
Which one do you like?

  3. I've been waiting for YEARS for my color palette to come into fashion. It's finally here!!! Orange and other autumn colors all the way. Nice work on both, though.
