About 10 years ago Big Bear (a grocery store chain that was based out of Columbus, OH) closed their doors. When they were selling their fixtures, my husband and I took a look and found 3 sturdy wire shelving units that could double as benches. All these years I have used them for storage but have never taken the time to “beautify” them….until now.
We then made a “box” pillow cushion. We used a double layer of fabric (one the striped fashion fabric and one drop cloth canvas for more body and stability). We filled this pillow with shreaded foam for more comfort.
We didn’t like all the stripes going different directions so we decided to make a “pillow wrap” out of dark brown fabric. We wrapped the cushion and enclosed the with velcro
We flipped the cushion over and viola!
Then we made some envelope accent pillows to finish the look!
