Final Installment of the Jenny Lind Headboard Bench

Korrie nicknamed this headboard bench the “puzzle” bench because of all of the bits and pieces that make it up.
This is where we left off on the other post.
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:

Jenny Lind Bed Bench Pt 2.
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.

I think you made a good decision. The stencil was competing with the spindles, I think ๐
Really love this look much better. Such an awesome job…you are very talented!
Yep…I definitely like the final version best! What can I say, I don’t think you can miss with black! Love the accent pillows!
gail—this is great in black!! is it heading to the shop once it reopens?
Love it in black!!
It looks great Gail, you’ve done a fabulous job!
I like it in black, but then I’m partial to black benches as you know! It’s bold and classic looking! I bet it sells quickly.

The pillows work so well with the bench. Fantastic job!
I swear you could make a silk purse from a sow’s ear. ๐
(as Mike would say)
Wow! I have just found your blog and I love what you are doing. This bench (I read the first post about it as well) made me think of McGyver!I love it!
Love, love, love it…the black with the patterned pillows is elegant. You chose well!
