This is kind of a fun little storage bench, I was picturing for a mudroom or garage entry.  I'm going to put it on craigslist, but if it doesn't sell I think I'll keep it for my closet.  For some reason I feel guilty putting something so cute in my closet, so we'll see. 

 Looks cute with or without the cushion.

Here's the before.  I had my eye on it for about a week but waited until the thrift store reduced the price.  I'm glad it was ugly enough that no one else noticed it's potential!
