Anderson takes an antique-store bench ($175) from plain wood to a bold black to match the other furniture pieces in the room. A complementary cushion and several throw pillows makes for a cozy seating area. (bench: Pasadena Antique Center & Annex)Textiles - $130
The diverse colors and patterns give the room an eclectic charm. (fabrics for pillows and bench cushion: Eco Fabrics - toile and striped; napkins for pillow fabric: Target - white and striped, 067020426 and 067020529, $2 and $3)
