🖤 DRAB TO FABOOLOUS
Oct 30, 2025
A Witchy Gothic Bench Resurrection with BB Frösch

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.
