Before & After: A Colorful Woven Bench Makeover
The "before" looks familiar, yes? A discarded bench, sad and lonely without a seat to call its own. Before you pass a similar one by, check out this creative makeover!
A trip to the hardware store brought inspiration to Sam Henderson, the creative director for Today's Nest: colorful rope in a variety of textures and patterns! This versatile material proved to be just what he needed to give this seat-less bench a face lift. He opted to go with a bright orange (perfect for the boy's room it was intended for), and in the end created a sturdy, hand-woven seat! Check out how he did it, including a complete how-to, over on Today's Nest.
