this weekend's theme

~ benches ~

This is my most favorite bench in the whole wide world.

I found this gem two years ago and couldn't bring myself to cough up $200 for it. It was huge, vintage, and had the perfect patina. I wanted it for a coffee table. So I just told myself I ought to try and make one.

Well, I'm not afraid anymore. :) However I just couldn't swing whipping it out this week. Instead, I decided to do a little digging in google to see what I could find for further inspiration. And was I ever pleasantly surprised. :)

Ohhh I love this! Not only do I love the style, but that colour is so fun. I'd have this as a coffee table this very instant if I could!

Ahh!! This one is so authentically factory. Isn't it wonderful? Love their photo studio too.

Oh you've got to be kidding me! Although this is a mini bench, wouldn't it be fab in life size? My mind's spinning full tilt now...

How original are these? I just love the old world vibe they offer.

I just LOVE a good vintage bench design. Although this one looks a tad tipsy, I LOVE the lines.

Oh goodness... now I want my new coffee table bench more than ever! Guess I'd better start scrounging up looking for wood. :)
