Moby Dick Sighting! Rush Bench Makeover

I found this little bench with rush seat at Class and Trash a couple of weeks ago.

I love the lines of the legs...

 But there was no way to save the rushing. So...

 I removed it. 

Then I base painted the wood in a mixture of 

ASCP in Old White and French Linen.

Once dry, I dry brushed with Paris Grey, 

then distress sanded, and added clear and dark waxes.

 I added jute webbing for support, 

then foam, batting, and upholstered the top

with this fun fabric I picked up from Ufab.

 Around the edges, I used a navy and white striped trim, 

and oversized pewter nail heads...

 …also from Ufab.

Nice little nautical touch.

Definitely looks like a "she" 

but I guess its name will be…..

….Moby.

For sale, $145.
