Headboard Bench and Custom Pillows

Postings have been sparse here at Five to Nine this week. I thought I'd fill you in on a few of the reasons why. I'm redoing most of my house so I've been a little OCD about getting things done. I FINALLY talked Mr. 5-9 into building another bench. Of course I forgot the before picture. But you get the idea:
He made it out of another headboard. It kind of reminds me of the love of my life bench that I sold at the boutique. (I'm still kicking myself in the fanny for selling that one. I hope I can find another headboard like that one someday.)

Anyway, here's the next during:

The fringe above the bench was bugging me so I decided to put it on the bench to jazz it up:

Much better.

And the cherry on top is these adorable pillows I just bought from my good friend over at I Heart Zelbie.
I just can't hardly stand it. They are so...charming? Adorable? Picturesque? You choose the adjective. I want to dance a jig every time I walk by them.
And they are totally reasonably priced. Like ridiculously priced. As in I had to buy three more (I'm not kidding) because they were so cheap. Hurry and get one before Tessa from I Heart Zelbie runs off to Russia to teach English.

Anyway, this bench is staying; I don't think I can part with it. I'll let you know if I change my mind...
