I love this fun little bench!I started with this little piece of furniture. I’m not sure what the original purpose was. Not a chest, not a dresser, not really a coffee table or console table. But it had a lot of fun details and was begging to be transformed into a bench!I started by cutting a 1/4th inch sheet of plywood to the size of the top using my jigsaw. I sanded the sides as best I could trying to get in all the crevices. I didnt worry about the top since it will be covered by the cushion. I removed the drawer front from the drawer itself to make sanding and painting easier.I love the feet and trim and all the pretty details!It was a pain trying to paint all the detailed areas that make this piece stand out.I painted the drawer front.I painted the sides but didnt worry about the top.I made the cushion using 3 inch foam. I traced around the plywood and the cut it out with scissors. I have one set of scissors I use exclusively for foam. The foam is so thick, it runs the scissors and makes it hard to cut anything else. I have to cut the foam in layers. I cut the top and the have to cut the bottom half separately because it’s too thick to cut through the whole 3 inch foam at once.I cut the fabric a few inches wider than the foam so it will wrap around.Once it’s all cut out, I layer my fabric face down, then the foam, and then the plywood. I start pulling the fabric tight and stapling the corners. Then I do the centers and work my way around until the fabric is tight and not lumpy.I attached the cushion using screws from underneath. I put the handles back on and I love how it turned out! I love the fun details and the bold fabric
