Week 2!
So, I bought this bench at an antique store almost a year ago. It was worn out and a grey woody color with mold all over it. I painted it a limey green in my old house and that was not cutting it for the new one. I TOTALLY forgot to take a before pic but this is a background shot to give you an idea.

That's so beautiful, Em!! I love everything! The bench and the pillows!! It makes me think of my awesome Goodwill score a few weeks ago...my turquoise dresser. I can't remember if you saw it or not? But I know you'd love it.
Anyhow, whenever I see 'Keep Calm and Carry On' I always think of you. And birds, too. I always think of you when I see birds!

I LOVE it Emily! You never cease to amaze me! I love the bench and your painting project and little Annie in her kitchen dress up!
KEEP CALM and CARRY ON is what I need to do NOW!
I love that phrase and those cushions are a great addition to that bench!
I love your pillows! I just bought the Keep Calm in a wall vinyl. I can't wait to put it up! Where did you get your stencils?
I love those stenciled pillows! What a great idea-and the bench-really cool :)
What a beautiful piece and perfect accent pillows. I love the clean/classic design of it all. I hope to find some quality pieces pennies this year. If I do, I just may ask for advise.
I LOVE the pillows - so wish I could sew!! The bench is very pretty as well!
