I’m back at it again with another Craigslist Remix. Well, this started as a remix and then I decided I HAD to have these benches in my life, so I hurried to the moving sale after work and bought the set.
The Items
A Sofa Table and 2 Small Benches on Casters
What grabbed my attention?
I liked the strap details on the benches and the round casters. The sofa table was fine, but I was drawn to the benches.
Original
Option 1:
Benches covered in off-white/light linen fabric with camel leather straps:
Option 2:
Benches covered in black and white striped fabric with camel leather straps:
Option 3:
Benches covered in black and white striped fabric with fuschia fabric straps:
and the winner is….
Option 2: Light linen + leather
I loved the look of the Katy Skelton Safari Bench Emily Henderson featured in her master bedroom reveal, but couldn’t swing the hefty price tag. I might try to sand and lighten up the wood a little bit, but for now, I like the contrast of the leather straps on the light fabric. I like the stripes + leather, but since I’m planning on doing large stripes on the cane barrel chairs that will be facing these benches I didn’t want the entry to get too stripey.
Check back next week for the final IRL reveal!
Thoughts
- Do you think I picked the right option? or do you think these are hideous?
- How do you style your sofa table? Right now, it’s just working as another place for George to perch and harass Freddie.

To refrain from buying everything I see on Craigslist
