Well, I just wasn't that motivated...

When you feel like crap, It's very difficult to get anything done.  But me being me... I did get something done on the Coffee Table Bench Project.  I made a left turn in my plans and went a different way.  I decided instead of doing a very schlocky job of upholstering, I thought of a slightly better idea.  I would remove the vinyl from the mattress to expose the Foam and springs.  The Vinyl was icky and annoying so I wasn't so sad about that, I wished I'd done it sooner.


I then put the foam inside an allergy cover for crib mattresses, which holds everything together.


The last layer was a Crib sheet.  I have some little garters that will hold it firmly in place.  I will be putting velcro down to hold the mattress in place and I will be done.  I'm sure a little batting would do wonders, but I think having the ability to change out the cover to any color or to wash easily is a better trade off.


all I need to do now is Velcro the mattress to the table.  I love the little shelf underneath.  perfect for Baskets and such.

repurposing, project plans
