🖤 DRAB TO FABOOLOUS

A Witchy Gothic Bench Resurrection with BB Frösch

 Formerly Cute… Now just tired.

Some heirlooms come adorned in crystal balls and wisdom from beyond…
and some come… brown. 😶

This bench once lived its best life in my grandmother’s home, but after decades of being sat on, tossed on, and ignored, she was giving serious:

“I haunt basements now.”
–Bench, probably

But, lucky for her, I dabble in a little DIY necromancy. 🪦🪄

Armed with:

  • Leftover velvet curtain magic 🖤

  • Tricorn Black (the trendiest shade of black to ever black)

  • BB Frösch Paint Transformer (aka my personal dark arts potion)

  • A staple gun and questionable confidence

…I raised this beauty from the dead and made her Faboolous.


⚰️ Step 1 — Befriending the Ghost of Furniture Past

No sanding demons required.

I stared into her carved details and whispered,

“You’re coming back, love.”

No sanding.
No stripping.
No crying into a glass of wine at 2am.
Because BB Frösch Paint Transformer keeps the prep demons at bay. 😈

Potion formula:
Regular latex Tricorn Black + BB Frösch Paint Transformer

Instant haunted glam.


🖤 Step 2 — Two Coats to the Dark Side


Caption: One foot in the underworld already.

Those ornate details?
OH THEY ATE.
Black matte paint on carved wood is the goth makeover dreams are made of.

Morticia Addams could never.


🕯️ Step 3 — The Curse of the Crevices

Banishing misbehaving wax spirits.

Wax lodged into the crevices like ectoplasm.
But with a little heat + Q-tip exorcism, the details stayed crisp and spooky.


🪡 Step 4 — Upholstery Resurrection

Grandma’s curtain → glamorous seat.

The original upholstery?
Giving ugly haunted doll.
We don’t do that here.

So I repurposed a leftover velvet curtain (because witches hoard velvet, it’s the law).
Now: soft, seductive, ready to judge visitors.


✨ Final Reveal — Faboolous Forever

Welcome to the afterlife, darling.

Looks like she could charge rent.

She’s officially drab to FABOOLOUS
And absolutely ready to haunt your hallway in style.
