New bench for our entry way

I have been so inspired by all the wonderful refurnishing blogs and all the wonderful things people do with old furniture that when I came across this bench for only $2.99 at the Goodwill Outlet I thought I'd give it a try for myself.

Now you may think I paid to much. But I sanded it down.

And added a few coats of creamy white (a quart of mistint I found at Lowes) paint.


Now we have a place to sit as we put our shoes on.



I love it! Clean and simple lines.

What do you think? Was it worth the $2.99?
