My DIY Greek Key Bench

<div style="text-align: center;">  Two DIYs in one week? Moving really has me on the ball people.<br />Today I bring to you the story of a bench.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5DCtJNBkkm3_TBxtyjHGQZJaimP1A1gOz1JciQuFC6cBEiHBz9yivwnyMUhmHB8l5nkVPKVc4fFWVk-i2-bi6u6q3Vi3K14c1kvHacmAksh6QDwbVCeJGtvIUTUbDIXafyBaI0L4BV3bO/s1600/greek+key+bench+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5DCtJNBkkm3_TBxtyjHGQZJaimP1A1gOz1JciQuFC6cBEiHBz9yivwnyMUhmHB8l5nkVPKVc4fFWVk-i2-bi6u6q3Vi3K14c1kvHacmAksh6QDwbVCeJGtvIUTUbDIXafyBaI0L4BV3bO/s640/greek+key+bench+1.jpg" width="640" /></a>^ Here is what it looks like now. I use it as a coffee table/ottoman in front of my couch, but it could easily go at the foot of a bed or in a front foyer! I love how versatile a good bench is.<br /><br />Let's travel back in time to July, 2011 to see what the piece used to be:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_BuqqTHZt1lh2hfe1-FWQJFZ7S9glyJPDhzfE0h7qPRgxCJUBZNPMLXoOR7eKgZ-gCFSDqfq_dN9BAc7oso8z0AlsMzaN_DNk0KZchGV0PFK-65uYqqvUBjnTale86u5NP2-snAe8Eta/s1600/081.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz_BuqqTHZt1lh2hfe1-FWQJFZ7S9glyJPDhzfE0h7qPRgxCJUBZNPMLXoOR7eKgZ-gCFSDqfq_dN9BAc7oso8z0AlsMzaN_DNk0KZchGV0PFK-65uYqqvUBjnTale86u5NP2-snAe8Eta/s640/081.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Picked this baby up at Good Will for $4. It was chipped, bubbling and a strange height for a coffee table. But I saw the potential of those great legs (and yes, it took me over a year to <strike>finish</strike> even start this one).<br /><br />The First step was to remove the top of the table: <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzfQGbev9cN05Mroxfli9QJt_ieJRKKRl8m9cD40JmoPSsOaxrXfNatuotof_4RAi5rvm6vs-hOhOYTtbrtM117cbQgXHMswV2OnImKeXTXdlaV4cnVgEfn0-0qxqkSsCArvValOQzD6j/s1600/036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqzfQGbev9cN05Mroxfli9QJt_ieJRKKRl8m9cD40JmoPSsOaxrXfNatuotof_4RAi5rvm6vs-hOhOYTtbrtM117cbQgXHMswV2OnImKeXTXdlaV4cnVgEfn0-0qxqkSsCArvValOQzD6j/s400/036.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheBKOHh73EPvpPQwgORIoJm13DMhVze6gnp1KU5zDb5swahVdvzJ8ScvLKd4Dr-pbe5D3g6hyITDOZqweZbeaIG0qAEPLpA1etpUGekSlxWw3cHpGyjlePIFWssEciQYKna2TqRcftUDC/s1600/035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheBKOHh73EPvpPQwgORIoJm13DMhVze6gnp1KU5zDb5swahVdvzJ8ScvLKd4Dr-pbe5D3g6hyITDOZqweZbeaIG0qAEPLpA1etpUGekSlxWw3cHpGyjlePIFWssEciQYKna2TqRcftUDC/s400/035.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>^ It was attached with these L-brackets that easily unscrewed.<br /><br />Next, I used the top as a template to cut out the 2inch upholstery foam that would sit on top to form the cushion of the bench. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jzdMmVM4dcve5svVZm9D8CxJ3YYt56TIbbuB8Qx1BBuNXhz-ZlrMJdFofcNxHyjhiSV3TSK0FGwU09eWllvn3ZEATG3Y3n3Ts28F-qfALcE2mKP8O5CQEjNZ42NXK9pXx5Q1v02d6TtD/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jzdMmVM4dcve5svVZm9D8CxJ3YYt56TIbbuB8Qx1BBuNXhz-ZlrMJdFofcNxHyjhiSV3TSK0FGwU09eWllvn3ZEATG3Y3n3Ts28F-qfALcE2mKP8O5CQEjNZ42NXK9pXx5Q1v02d6TtD/s400/003.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXETPo0P5ouiii5QRjMv_e4WtVUZeS4yyoDHNM7PmC6G2g5fN74ddHdBp7KteMsEQuIZvQOHwkUE9-KXZZJLcffinrGLdz4to9_9_ggsDVofDbyrK0pRpyXXiBGhBCIJBHRNfTFxnCRnw/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxXETPo0P5ouiii5QRjMv_e4WtVUZeS4yyoDHNM7PmC6G2g5fN74ddHdBp7KteMsEQuIZvQOHwkUE9-KXZZJLcffinrGLdz4to9_9_ggsDVofDbyrK0pRpyXXiBGhBCIJBHRNfTFxnCRnw/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I cut out the foam with a serrated knife and used spray adhesive to attach it to the table top.

Oh and I also painted the base of the bench white!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIfeHC6HKCqx4IHNtQfbibUwPi_TBPfgmUz3erFkiAtFNbrVGjdu308zbnZvCCvRezq1R8gyd1l1KhCqKYervFRnwo4zg8GNumcLYfF90Y9g7umgneHqJVyhYpxg6kBHCPv6h7DS9yt8hw/s1600/008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIfeHC6HKCqx4IHNtQfbibUwPi_TBPfgmUz3erFkiAtFNbrVGjdu308zbnZvCCvRezq1R8gyd1l1KhCqKYervFRnwo4zg8GNumcLYfF90Y9g7umgneHqJVyhYpxg6kBHCPv6h7DS9yt8hw/s400/008.JPG" width="400" /></a> <br />I'm so pleased with the end result.

<div style="text-align: center;">I'm so happy to be here this morning!  I'm Albertina from <span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><a href="http://mimosalaneblog.blogspot.ca/">Mimosa Lane</a></span> and I am thrilled and honored to be guest posting here at Tiffany's lovely blog, that is a daily must read for me, in her Favorite Furniture Friday series.  I chose to share with you this special piece of furniture- a bench.  But not just any bench, an antique church bench!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXs88CydHwT5hlSxdtqE2c09BOF2Oi6TzG4nvqk8Lb4MNviVdZz7h1OPPJk9xwEvwTSqwkvtWnJfLyp38-Qvz1gUUdekfZe_LEVU-UBO7KgzYMvrc4TnYIYfumwEkx0WYbcXZp0mdCVVlR/s1600/DSC_0024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXs88CydHwT5hlSxdtqE2c09BOF2Oi6TzG4nvqk8Lb4MNviVdZz7h1OPPJk9xwEvwTSqwkvtWnJfLyp38-Qvz1gUUdekfZe_LEVU-UBO7KgzYMvrc4TnYIYfumwEkx0WYbcXZp0mdCVVlR/s640/DSC_0024.jpg" width="423" /></a></div> It used to be my parents' until I inherited it.  This antique church bench is perhaps from the Spanish colonial period.  The wood is incredible.  I can't believe it has withstood the test of time in such great condition.  I love its length and it definitely adds a lot of interest to the room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GU9ETYNf3xsIy8UH0JmkauKxs6Krhy6tCeC2e8HvLGInXClaJdEuAU6mN5GooMFF_0VzCc-FLtaEb8BCKBqujjFOH8T_N1uK2U4DZM2m2Nu6bY-xuGtTkLkJbjh3DI0BV_dzcTCC2cYN/s1600/DSC_0022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="423" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4GU9ETYNf3xsIy8UH0JmkauKxs6Krhy6tCeC2e8HvLGInXClaJdEuAU6mN5GooMFF_0VzCc-FLtaEb8BCKBqujjFOH8T_N1uK2U4DZM2m2Nu6bY-xuGtTkLkJbjh3DI0BV_dzcTCC2cYN/s640/DSC_0022.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> I have the first fish I ever caught, which happened to be at camp, mounted above it (such a conversation starter) as well as an <a href="http://www.allisonvsmith.com/"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Allison V. Smith photograph</span></a> and a piece by <a href="http://www.patricioreig.com/"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Patricio Reig</span></a>.
