vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Well welcome! If you are new to What Meegan Makes-a hearty welcome! If you are a long time follower-Thanks for coming back again and again. I love having you here.
I was given the challenge of visiting Lowe’s and creating something in an unexpected way. While strolling through the aisles, I came upon some clamps. Hmmm…
Today’s features were chosen by Debbie from Refresh Restyle.
I am really lucky that my friends know my taste. When one of my friends was moving, she gave me this beach beach-which I love!! Since then, I have given this beach bench a makeover again, and again, and again!!
When my friend gave me the beach bench, it was natural. That didn’t last long-when I was going through an “everything red” phase, I painted her red. She looked lovely on our front porch. I smiled every time I saw her.
We then moved into a different home. I got on a kick when I really wanted to see this bench in lime green-and so it was. Again, looking great with plants and a few pillows on our front porch.
We have since moved into a condo. There isn’t a large enough front porch to hold my beach bench. So, I set her out on our balcony. It is a nice balcony, but still not enough room to sit back and enjoy my beach bench.
And I also changed her color once again!! This time: BHG Teal Lake. Love it!!
Since there really wasn’t enough room on the balcony, I decided to bring her in.
I gathered items to make a “reading nook”. I found the bench cushion at Pier 1 to blend with my new colors. She looks happy, don’t you think??
Well, she lasted in that spot for about a year, and now she has found her final home at the foot of our bed.
The cushion was getting faded and worn, so I covered the cushion with an antique quilt from Hubby’s dad. I also added a pillow (another Pier 1 item) that was inspiration for all the blues now in our home. The beach bench still looks great inside and is perfect when Hubby puts his shoes on for the day.
Do you move or change your furniture as much as I do?? I have fun painting and moving items around. Especially my beach bench makeover again, and again, and again!!
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have been inspired to paint or move your furniture around. The awesome thing is, if you don’t like it-you can always change it back!!
