X marks the spot

I got numerous emails about the x-benches in one of my recent projects:

They were a very simple DIY project. I just purchased two of thesefor $49.99. *They are now $59.99 each.

I just added a layer of batting on top of the existing animal print and the just stapled on my new fabric. It also takes about a yard per x-bench.

I’m not the only one that has tackled this project.

Deb from Living Livelier made a set for a client:

Caitlin from Caitlin Creer started the trend with a set she made for a client:

Courtney from Courtney Out Loud made a set for his own bedroom:

Shannon from Shannon Berrey Designs used the same x-bench in project, but she gave the legs a new coat of paint and just slip=covered the tops.

The possibilities are endless. Have you recreated one yourself? Any other favorites you’ve seen in blog land?
