This truly was a work-in-progress!
I think I changed my mind enough times to not even remember what my first choice was…..until I found this fantastic black and white fabric with all these crazy swirls which reminded me of the wood work on the horses’ mains – a perfect match. And then there was no question which color to paint the frame.
And just for the sake of it, a before and after shot:
SEDUTE VINTAGE 
love the fabric looks fabulous with lime greeen.
I thought the fabric was just made for the horse bench! I’m glad I bought more of it so I can use it on other projects 🙂
