The sides and back were cut from an old bed rail. That was the only salvageable piece from what I believe was a buffet.

Remember my planter that I made from a curbside drawer front? Here is a peek at where I’ve spent the better part of the last week or so: The door is through that opening and to the left but it’s getting an update of its own at the moment.

Which makes them just a tiny bit harder to cover (but still pretty simple), and you can see how to do that HERE. The top cushions of this set actually have a little bit of a curve to them though… That tutorial is for rectangular or square cushions like the bottom cushion here, which most are. No fancy piping or zipper inserts and just look at those pretty corners… Did you know that the biggest search item that leads people to my blog is outdoor cushion covers? This tutorial is good, y’all, and seriously simple!

Then I sewed new cushion covers using my SEW EASY Outdoor Cushion Cover Tutorial. The only downside is it doesn’t have a bottom to it, but a drop cloth works just fine. It’s huge and perfect for those windy days when I need to spray. This also gave me a chance to try out my new spray tent from Homeright that I ordered from Amazon… The first thing I needed to do for this makeover however, was take care of that faded and rusted frame…Ī little Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint from Rustoleum to the rescue! (I did no prep.) Luckily they still have it this year, so I bought enough to cover my chairs out back as well. I purchased this pretty fabric from Joann Fabrics last year, but never got around to recovering the cushions for this glider bench. Here’s my new and improved outdoor glider bench now: Isn’t it just pitiful? I covered the cushions once before about three years ago, and it was time to do it again! I’ve included affiliate links so you can find the products I used.

I purchased this outdoor glider bench about six or seven years ago: Hi lovely friends! I told you the other day that I’ve been spending several days working outdoors and today I’m sharing a project that was very much overdue.
