Updating a bench seat


We have had this bench seat for over 2 years. I picked it up in a thrift store when Myles was into Cars, but he lost interest a while ago (in favour of super heroes) and we began using this in Maisy's bedroom for her books. 
As useful as it is, it really didn't go with her room decor! I used a melamine primer which covered it incredibly well, then used the Farrow and Ball Skimming Stone the rest of her bedroom furniture is in. The inside of the cubbies is a little darker than I would of liked but it was a F&B sample, and for now it works.
Maisy chose the baskets herself, not the shade of pink Id have gone for but she loves them! I may make a cushion for this in the future, but for now her doll house will stand on the top and her books underneath. 


A bit beaten and faded
 




Primed


Ready to use (sadly it doesn't stand out from the wall)
