#smallcabin

     My two cousins moved into an old house that had this bench. It was pretty much exactly what we were thinking to have in the TC, something that worked as both a couch and an additional sleeping space that had storage underneath. Luck has it that it also happened to be just the right size. Talk about a gift!

     This was entirely my mom’s project. She sanded the bench down, re-stained it, and then added memory foam to each side of the original cushion. She then sewed a new cover for everything with durable, soft fabric we picked out together. That seems pretty simple when it’s written in a list like that, but she put a lot of time and effort into making it nice. 

     My mom did the extra work to make the covers removable so we can wash them and have them for years to come. We were going to make extra pillows, but she found a good deal on these cute brown ones and also remembered the vintage duck pillows I used to have that were being used in the basement of the lake house.
