The Bench That Matches My Coat Rack!


Bench Makeover!

I found this bench on Craigslist for $50
(Everywhere I look they're at least $100 or more!)


Before:



Once Again Mike is wonderful and sanded it down for me :)


Completed!



I matched it to go with my Coat Rack for in our Laundry Room
Our Laundry Room is the righ when you walk into our house off to the side, now we have a place for guests to hang their coats and we have more storage (inside the bench) which is MUCH NEEDED in this house!
