Coffee Table to Bench!

First, we bought this awful coffee table from Goodwill.

Second, we sanded and painted it.


Next, we cut wood to fit on top of the table to fill the holes (where glass was supposed to be, but was missing upon purchase)


Next, we upholstered the top. It really isn't hard. Take padding place it down then wrap it with fabric, grab the staple gun and secure it. It doesn't have to look pretty, no one will be looking under the bench.



Next, we added the knobs, there really isn't drawers here, but I felt the knobs would add a little flare. We bought the knobs at Hobby Lobby, as well as the fabric.
Finally we just secured the top of the bench to the bottom with some screws!
