Console Table Turned Bench

One of my new websites I have been checking for furniture is OfferUp. I came across this great console table that was located not far from my condo.

Although it was not real wood, it was a great piece with a lot of character. It was not as high as I was hoping for a console table, so I decided to make it a bench. My vision was to paint the table black and find some good neutral fabric to upholster it with to make a bench.  I usually always go to my local Jo-Ann's for fabric, but felt like trying Hobby Lobby. I am so horrible when it comes to fabric, I could always spend hours in there. I narrowed it down to these two.

I decided to go with the fabric in the bottom picture. I purchased two yards, a long with some batting and foam. I am a novice when it comes to upholstering. I learned by watching YouTube tutorials and just trying it. I used my electric stapler and started on it.

It is not perfect, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I used Country Chic paint in Liquorice and General Finished High Performance Topcoat in Flat. This one is a keeper!

Thanks for reading!
