This bench was black (with a few other colors also) when I purchased it for $10.00. I sanded, painted and distressed it for our bedroom. I orginally wanted to put it at the end of the bed, but the room isn't big enough for that. The precious momemt doll was a present I receved from my mom on my 21st birthday. The old fan is actually going to go in our family room after I complete the remodel of that, but for now it goes well enough in here. I just wish I would have remembered to take before pics of my treasures.
