A Face Lift

I covered the cushions on the bench inside our front door
 but it wasn't enough of a perk.
I peeled off the old dark trim.
 (I had to use the heat gun to soften the glue) 
and sanded down the rest of the residue off.
Then I took the whole bench outside to paint it! 
 It took all three cans to cover the dark wood. 
 It was a beautifully warm day and the coats dried in no time.
I brought it in just as the sky darkened and the rain began!
  Yes, this was the look I was going for!
The print on the upholstery is kitchen-y without being kitchy!
See, it looks light and airy and new. 
 I'm pleased with the days work! 
 (the orange cat scratch/toy really goes well with the bench, too!) lol

  3. Beautiful! I don't want to even tell you what Daughter paid for a refinished bench just like that one. Just the cost of the material for the seat was heart stopping.

  5. WOW! Wow! Wow! That is an amazing transformation. I love it in white. The fabric looks much better than with the wood. So pretty. And cat toys belong everywhere.
    Blessings and love,
