Before and After: Luxe Blooms Cherry Bench

Hello! Long time no talk Before & After! I've been so wrapped up in busy summer life that Lather Creations has been on the back burner. But I have been plugging away at a few commissions here and there. Like this simple bench...

Local PR gal Michelle contacted me to see if I had any benches in stock for her entranceway. Luckily, I just happened to have this vintage cherry wood piece with long and lean legs that I handpicked for Lather during a thrifting hunt earlier in the year. *Michelle is a repeat customer and I have to say - it warms my heart when someone loves their Lather Creation enough to come back for more!

Michelle picked out the most luxurious velvet flocked fabric in rich jewel tones of rasberry and violet, against a modern grey linen background. She chose to keep the original cherry base, it was a great match to the fabric and the few knicks and dents adds a bit of vintage personality to the look. Isn't it striking?

I just love how it turned out, so regal and chic! Michelle promised to send pics of the bench in her new space and I can't wait to see!

Have a lovely Wednesday friends!
