Naps

I recently finished a major home improvement project- cushions for our window bench. This bench is more than 8 feet long with a split in the middle for storage box access, so this multi-step project was a bit daunting. Despite it being just 2 years old and finished with several coats of stain and poly, the top has definitely seen wear and tear-I hated how it looked. Daunting be dashed-I had to make this a functional piece of furniture.






On my recent trip to Boston, I discovered some amazing fabric in the remnant pile -4 1/2 yards of it- and snatched it up. I was just a bit short on yardage and incorporated an olive/tan suede as an accent.





Knowing these cushions would get serious use, I added a zipper for easy removal of the covers for washing or replacement. New item discovered: zipper by the YARD. Amazing invention.



I purchased some foam from E-bay, cut it to size with a bread knife and zipped up.



Why did we build in this bench anyway? Naps.



Obviously.
