Another Coffee Table Turned Bench

This was one of those oval coffee tables with the high gloss, redish brown color. I see them everywhere. My neighbor gave it to me when her daughter moved back home from college.

I didn't get a before, but... picture it...Sicily 1928... Ha! Remember Ma from Golden Girls.  I loved her!

Anyway. I painted it white and made this bird  fabric slipcover for it.

Do you notice the 2 headless birds right up front on the skirt?  Dag nabit!  I'm not changing it. :(  It's not that noticeable in real life. You kinda just see the whole bench at once.

I put a few pleats here and there. At the legs and center points.

Here's a close up of  the birds.  They're on that natural linen color fabric.

My inspiration for the fabric is this little guy below.

I started talking to him/her about 2 months ago.  Whenever I take the dogs out, it comes and sits in the tree or on the fence and watches me.  It comes to the tree now when I call it.  And it's getting jealous of the other birds.  It chases them away if they come anywhere near the yard.  It's cute.  He's become my BFF now.

It even came out after the snow.  Speaking of snow. We never get it here!  3 dustings in 6 years.  So you know we all had to make the most of it.

Everyone got out and played the next day.  Sugar..the land shark, black lab, or nicknamed "biggun".  Mija..the little orange scruffy mutt. And Krew..my soccer ball  baby girl.

It was so fun! All of the neighbors were out in it.  (this is a big deal for us in the South :)  There's my truck that I go thirft shopping in and haul all of my furniture finds home.  And it was so pretty  the next day. Below.

Here's the field behind our house.  The snow came Friday night, and was gone by Monday morning.  My son said it was like we ordered show for the weekend.

Thanks for stopping by
