$1 makeover

A couple weeks ago I bought this bench off of craigslist.... I could see the potential but was in desperate need of an update.


After two coats of grayish paint I found for $1 in the "oops" section of Home Depot it has a new life in my guest room! It's amazing what a simple coat of paint can do.

  11. Gorgeous makeover! Lucky you to find such a pretty "oops" color. I always find bright oranges and terrible purples.
