Finished Bench

This piece of furniture, not sure what it was intended to be, was found down by my neighbors trash one day.  I'm thinking it may have been a part of a radio cabinet, maybe?  Let me know if you have any ideas.

A couple of weeks ago I showed you this area by my back door that we are turning into a semi-mudroom.  Over the weekend I finally finished the bench by putting on the nail head trim.

 

The top of this piece was open when I found it.  So I just used a wood board I had on hand to nail to the top, and then used foam, batting and drop cloth fabric to make the cushion.

The cabinets are perfect for holding shoes.

    This is a brilliant idea and so well executed! Such a smart way to salvage this piece. Visiting from MMS. I think Cassie is right...looks like the base of a china cabinet.

    What a great idea! It looks totally different from what you started with. I'm wondering, was it hard to get the brass tacks straight? Thank you for always being such an inspiration. Blessings, Patti
