Have you ever considered adding more upholtery tacks to your black and white bench at foot of bed? Is this bench at the end of the bed more for decoration or do you use it regularly? My DH needs something like this or even a coffee table or cedar chest at foot of his bed to be able to sit on to put on clothes and shoes./socks. He is a fall risk, so I have to keep him safe and I cringe every time I see him struggling sitting on edge of bed getting himself dressed. I tell him to walk over to sit in the chair in the bedroom, but "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" so I just keep preaching(he's yell at me for nagging him so much)but I just need to keep him safe from a broken hip. I wonder if you used that bench every day if that stuffing wouldn't flatten, maybe a firm foam would be better. Just my two cents talking. I love everything you have done in your home. You are an inspiration to all of us.Pippi21https://www.blogger.com/profile/07002511102541874660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-55215827530606985962014-10-08T23:14:15.978-04:002014-10-08T23:14:15.978-04:00I absolutely love this bench and really hope to tr...I absolutely love this bench and really hope to try a project like this soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886837310056354971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-51407360745263556372014-07-13T12:41:33.410-04:002014-07-13T12:41:33.410-04:00Love the bench, love the blog, love your sense of ...Love the bench, love the blog, love your sense of humor and your helpful tips, but most especially love those pink, white and green pillows!

I was wondering where you find it best to purchase all your materials, most of all the stuffing/ cushion. Just nabbed the cutest little end table ( which I'll try the bench with ). Also working on two rocking chairs. Should be fun!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615651995893513730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-49812166351226579642013-04-22T08:26:55.591-04:002013-04-22T08:26:55.591-04:00I love it!
