Just a little project!

We are doing so much around the house that some of these 'little' projects had been put off. Since I've been back to work - most of my lunch breaks are full of running errands and stuff but I try hard to go and look for some of the smaller things for our house at thrift stores, clearance aisles, and we have a habitat restore too. This bench was a $15.00 steal from a local outlet store. They have lots of overstock and misc. stuff. These benches were piled up in boxes on an end cap and said $30.00- 50% off! I have been looking for one to sit under the piano. BUT benches are so expensive I just couldn't pay that much. I didn't actually like the bench and it would match NOTHING in my new dining room - but I thought for $15.00 I'd try it.. I bought a bottle of spray paint and went to work!

Cream & Brass

It was really pretty, but I'm not in a gold/ brass kinda mood these days. I tested a spot first - just to make sure- ya never know with spray paint!
Tuu-dah!
I thought the finish was actually decent!
NOW- can someone come help me move this piano into the dining room please! LOL It takes every bit of FIVE big guys and a dolly to move it....
My nephew will be taking piano lessons soon- maybe he can put it to use!
