Megan and her husband found this bench at an estate sale, but she almost missed out on it because it was obscured by some bad baby-blue bathroom tile! It was her husband that pointed it out, and they both jumped on the chance at grabbing it up at a good deal.

From Megan:

I ripped off the old tile and put batting and fabric over the wood. I love the fabric because it’s fairly neutral and has a vintage vibe to it. I’m guessing this was a coffee table originally that had smaller tiles like you might see on other mid-century coffee tables, but those were nowhere to be found. It makes the perfect bench!

Thank you Megan!
