My New Dining Bench

Remember the zebra ottoman I ordered from Walmart.com for $50?






With 2 yards of new fabric, some glossy black paint on the legs, and my dad's help with stapling the corners, it's now my new dining bench:





We all like it. . . .



Also, today is the last day to link up to my Coffee Talk link party.  I'll be posting some of my favorite reader coffee tables next week.

  24. I love it! I just found a bench in the neighbor's garbage and want to recover it...can I ask you what kind of fabric you got? I have 3 kids and want something to be somewhat wipeable/cleanable if I put it at our table. Thanks!!
