A Pagoda Bench-High/Low


I found this great little Chinoiserie pagoda bench at The Source Collection with a not so little price tag of $1,525. What about taking one of our favorite JCPenney benches at $99.99 or a flea market or eBay find, or perhaps something you already have that could use a makeover? This JCPenney bench might also work well. Then cover the cushion with one of these wonderful pagoda fabrics by Thomas Paul or Michael Devine. If you have or find a bench that can take ferrules (the metal feet), here is an excellent source for them.

  1. I finally reupholstered my JCP bench in pink zebra last week and posted some pics, I'm unsure what I'm going to do with the base but hopefully I'll feel inspired soon.

  2. This is somewhat unrelated, but did you see they have Home, James! items for sale on OneKingsLane.com today?

  5. EJR-I checked out your pictures-love the fabric! I left my base, but I think gold or black would work.
