A nelson bench for a modern home

As I moved onto finishing the interior of my home, I was able to start furnishing the exterior. I came upon a modern bench that again mimicked the design I was hoping to create with my home. The bench is a dark wood, which is the same color as the back porch at my house. On the nelson bench, I added a cushion, which I recovered using a zebra print slipcover. This is part of the modern element, since animal prints are really in right now. Furthermore, I had two decorative ornaments removed from the bench, since I think that it aged the furniture. Now the bench has all clean lines and it really pops on the back deck.
