benching it

While parking the Jeep the other night I noticed this out by the road waiting for the garbage truck: a fully intact and solid curved wood bench.

So naturally I picked it up and lugged it into my apartment.  And following a trip to IKEA and this nifty little equation,

I'm now the proud owner of a pretty stylish bench.  Which lets face it, operates more as a catchall as opposed to seating, but hey, at least the stuff is now off the table top.
