Antique Piano Bench

Before
After

The bench was in bad shape when I found it at Goodwill, but I loved the legs and the nailhead trim.
My daughter and I painted the base with French Linen chalk paint and waxed it with clear and dark wax. We recovered the bench with new foam, cream colored linen and matching gimp, and then replaced the original nail head trim, even reusing the old holes!

My favorite part - the feet!

We left the inside unpainted.

Ready for a new home.

This bench and more great vintage finds are for sale at the Aurora Antique Pavilion.
