I was using this crate to store dvds in.
These feet were hanging out in the abyss, along with other parts.
Let's combine them, shall we. It just so happens that both were already black. The crate has a flat finish, and the feet a semi-gloss, but, whatever. No painting, just gluing and nailing. I slid a cushion inside one of my vintage pork bellies sacks, and called it a day.
Actually, I think it took me less than 5 minutes. Haven't put anything in it yet.

Love it! Amazing what the addition of feet and a cushion can do.
How beautiful Rosemary! You always make everything look so effortless!
I'm curious about your old book collection I see behind it in the last pic...looks like you have some beauties there!
Love it! Looks like it was all made to be together.
Blessings,

I love it Rosemary! The legs are perfect!

Your bench came together very nicely. I love the look.
Such a clever girl always thinking about the next project and what we have lying around the house that can be utilized. Such a great idea and love the black. Great job as always Rosemary. Love coming here. xxx
Great project, Rosemary! Even better with its quickness and that you already had everything. The feet made a world of difference, too.
The way you see unrelated objects work together is inspiring!
I think I have a box of furniture legs somewhere in my hoarder garage...hmmm...

5 minutes - now that's my kind of project. And who needs anything in it when you can put your feet on it!

Extra cute ... & a great idea! Too bad I don't have any feet laying around {or a feed sack}. I've got a cool chest that this may work for if I ever do acquire those 2 items.
God you're good Rosemary - love it!!!
This is gorgeous !!! I love it! Love your creativity :)
Francine

That is such a cute project! You just keep belting them out, heat or not! Thanks, sweet Rosemary, for sharing your project at Potpourri Friday!
I love it Rosemary!
Hmmmmm! "Looking around" looking to see if I have something to transform into a creative rustic beauty as you have done.
Nope, nothing that I can see but you can be assured I will be on the watch out for something that needs a little nudge in the direction of a foot stool or side bench :)
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful and brilliant, Miss Barnes - as usual.

What you meant to say is that it took hours and hours to make. It must have taken longer to photograph and post than actually making it! lol ~ Maureen
... and what a great day it was! Less than five minutes and super fab foot relief 'slash' storage solution! All rolled up in one ...
:)
Linda

Don't you love when inspirations strikes?? Wonderful things come about!!
Great job.
Nancy
What a great marriage. I love the finished product.
my friend Alison at polohouse blog recommended that i reach out to you regarding vintage french furniture to move quickly (this weekend). she says it is totally your style! wing chair, settee, dining room table and 6 chairs - weathered cherry wood
solid wood with hand crafter marquetry . cabriole legs, fine cravens and details . purchased from Smythe on michigan avenue in 1961
totally cool, and you are a whiz at coming up with the best designs. the feet and cushion look perfect!!
Adorable as usual. I always love your stuff.
How you can literally turn anything into a true treasure just boggles my mind!!...Now, that project would probably take me all day, let along 5 minutes...Amazing work Rosemary!!!....
Great project--things like that are so handy!
Your the Woman
Love this, thanks for the inspiration!!!
How cute is that! Did I tell you already you're on a roll?
~Bliss~
It must be awesome to always think outside the box! Great job and I cant do anything in 5 minutes!
Very cool! Storage, beauty and comfort, & the best part is it cost nothing!
Wow, this is amazing!!
HOW CUTE and HOW VERY CREATIVE. Smart girl!!!
Amazing and so very clever. Love those awesome legs and the pork bellies cover. Never a need to have everything match...it's perfect!
OMG, I love it. What a wonderful transformation!!!
