Yard Sale Bench Redo {Guest Post}: Life as a Thrifter

I’m just saying that if I had seen the little table in the “before” picture below, I don’t think I would’ve imagined the “after.” And that’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to Holly! She posts her inspiring re-thought thrift store finds over at Life as a Thrifter.

Check out her brilliant interpretation of this boring ol’ bench! Heeeere’s Holly!


Hello! My name is Holly Marsh, and I blog over at Life as a Thrifter! I’m super excited to be guest posting here today! My blog is all about repurposing thrifty finds, and I’m thrilled to share today just that!

I’m always on the hunt at a Goodwill or a thrift store, but this particular find came from a yard sale for $15. For a long time this little bench sat behind our sofa, but recently I made a few changes and felt the need to move it around.

After a little sanding on the top, I decided to try out Rustoleum’s Chalkboard spray paint.

When that was dry, I pulled up a couple of old wooden children’s chairs . . .



where my daughter Ross now has free range to draw…and draw…and draw.

My son Weston would like to invite himself over to play on that table, Holly. He promises not to eat ALL your goldfish crackers or pull ALL of your daughter’s toys out of storage and leave them all over the floor.

Thanks for sharing this super cute creation!
