No longer on the bench...

I wanted one...an end of the bed bench.

But, I couldn't find the perfect one at a store.

I thought about buying one off of Craigslist or something 

and reupholstering it...but, I didn't find the right level of

cuteness....and sometimes Craigslist really grosses me out.

Then I found the pin I needed.

And I did my own version.

 My Mom helped with the upholstered pad.
She's in the middle of a kitchen remodel...

 ...then I turned an IKEA Expedit shelf on it's side.

 ...velcro secures the pad...

 ...and woolah!...

...pics are a bit dark, and I don't know if books
will are really gonna stay in there...

Fabric, cording and padding were about
$55 after I slapped my half off coupons down.
IKEA bookshelf was $59.99.

It's all mine, customized to my liking
with none of the grossness that you sometimes get
from Craigslist.


It will make recovering from my surgery, all the more cozy!

Toodles...
