Yesterday, me & my staple gun finished the ottoman above. Today, I still can’t figure out where to put it. The thing about Benches & Ottomans that is that they’re some of the hardest working furniture pieces in your house. They’re the utility players of Team Chez Vous.

Firstly, I would say this bench probably looks perfect in MY bedroom, at the foot of MY bed. Secondly, are you leaning towards putting it at the foot of your bed or somewhere aylse?
I love it, I love it, I love it. I had dreams about it last night.

What fantastic fabric. I’d vote the entryway or foot of the bed! Now that that’s settled, please go find another similar diamond in the rough and make one for me. 😉
Ha. You got it, lady!
LOVE your bench! I’ve got a pair of benches that have been moving from room to room. Right now, one is at the foot of the bed in the guest room and the other is in a hallway. That’s the great thing about these types of benches – they’re so versatile. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. It’s nice to discover yours!
Ally – wassup girl! Thanks so much! We are such huge fans of your blog!! XOXO
