We did a small addition to our home a couple of years ago which consisted of a master bathroom & walk-in closet. The bathroom is pretty good size and now looking back, I wish I would have made the closet a little bigger & the bathroom a little smaller, but what is done is done & there is no changing it now!
These are some pics of my bathroom vanity...my favorite part of this bathroom!!
I have been working on filling the new bathroom with pictures & decor ever since the addition was completed, but it has been slow moving! I have been wanting a storage bench for the wall opposite this vanity quite some time now, but have had problems finding a bench that I liked for the price I wanted to pay. These are some examples of what I was looking for...

These benches all ran anywhere from $200-$249 and so did all of the other benches that I have come across in my search! So for 2 years now, I have been putting this purchase off!!!
Then my mom sent me a picture from our local Goodwill shop of this.....
The perfect size bench for this once empty wall....
Now I know its not much to look at now, but it will be perfect when I get done with it!
And the best part...it was only $10.00!!!
Woo to the Hoo!!!
Now that's the price I was looking for!
The funny thing about this find..its actually an old piano bench!!
I am planning on painting it (of course), adding a shelf to the bottom of it with some storage baskets & also reupholstering the seat cushion and then adding some cute accessories to the top of it!
Can't wait to get started!!
Have you had any fabulous Goodwill finds lately?
I would love to hear about them!!!
Ooooh! So glad you found what you were looking for! Can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find!! You will do a great job refinishing it and put your own special touch to it. Hooray for moms on the look out for great "cheap stuff".... have a great day

ReplyDeleteI went thrifting today and found a GORGEOUS globe from Salvation Army. It's tan, mint, coral, and light blue colored and it's from the 1940's.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the bench once you're done with it.
$10! Awesome! I love bargins. These are a few of my finds...

I found a bench just like that, but without the cushion on top. I am planning to add one, paint it, and use it as a window seat. I did have to pay $20 for mine - but I still thought it was a great deal!
