Bench: Before and After

Who doesn't Love a cute bench?   On the porch, in the entry way  in a playroom or a kids room, with some pillows of course.

This bench is solid wood and well built, but it had seen better days.  The wood was flaking and dry.
Nothing that some sand paper and paint couldn't fix!


BEFORE:

And it has storage!

Thanks everyone for the Etsy Love for Gee Gee!

My cute Grandson will be drawing a name out of a hat for the winner on Friday!

Lamp Love Love Love Love! Before and After

$4.00 a steal

at the thrift store!

It's large, it shapely, it works!

I gave it a bath, and then primed it with rust-o-leum white spray paint. Then finished it off with rust-o-leum Eden.

Love!

Fabric for pillows- indoor, outdoor fabric from Joann's

Love the shape, the size, the color!

I dusted the shade, primed it with rust-o-leum white spray paint, used my sandblock to smooth it nice,

and then finished it off with rust-o-leum flat white!

seriously didn't know I could spray a lamp shade, but you can!

It looks so good in her home!

I am wondering if it would be good for my craft room!

I t wouldn't be the first time I copied her.

She has great style!

I have decided, I am not afraid to try anything,

rebuild furniture and paint it,

reupholster chairs etc.
but what I can't do is decide on a color palette!

It is because I don't know who I am!

vintage

modern

bold & fun

I Love it all!
