  Korrie nicknamed this headboard bench the “puzzle” bench because of all of the bits and pieces that make it up.

I sanded back some of the turquoise, but after getting a lot of feedback I decided to paint over the stencil.

I went with damask pillows instead of a damask stencil.

After hauling the bench up from the basement I can see that it needs some touchups.

I’m going to break out the paint sprayer today and apply some more paint.

After that, I am calling this bench d.o.n.e. You can see the original tutorials in these posts:

By the way, the pillows are some pillows I already had. I made new (envelope)  covers for them using this video on YouTube.
I also worked on the “project fail”. I’m liking it a lot better, but it needs to be painted today too.
