It was a really fun project, with, I think,
a fabulous outcome!
Who knew working on one simple bench (different project–also looks great!)
could lead to something so unexpected!
From the very moment I saw that battered fainting sofa getting worked on at The Upholstery Place—
I could almost SEE my own finished piece before it was even retrieved from storage to work on! ~A fait accompli !!!
I could see it immediately– covered in linen, with deep tufting!
The linen is a rich taupe color—none of my pictures are showing its beautiful color.
I wanted a time-worn, painted finish, and it needed to sit on old wooden wheels.
At 6ft long & 29″ wide
it’s almost a daybed— and incredibly comfortable with the very best high density foam!
I wish you could actually SEE the quality of this upholstery job! If you, too, have perfectionist-tendencies, this mother-daughter team is the one for you!

I love it! I have always wanted to put a bench at the foot of our bed, but I fear it would just be a jumping ledge for the boys. LOL!
I love the foot bench, and oh how I would love to have one in our bedroom, but our bedroom is smaller and could never have one. but I can dream. The carved details are incredible, and the tufting beautiful. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving. Thanks so much for sharing over at Sunday’s Best.
You don’t mind if I feature you EVERY TIME you link something up to “Turning the Daunting Into the Do-Able” link party at Project Queen do you Catherine???? Haha! Seriously though, your stuff is amazing.
