A White Bench......

A few weeks ago I did a post about an old orangey not-very-attractive-but-boy-you-sure-have-lots-of-potential bench seat that I was about to conquer with loads of undercoat and white paint......well here she is.........


not bad?........................



I'm really pleased with how it's finished up......at first I wasn't sure of the exact finish I was aiming for but once I started slapping that white paint on I could see the transformation happening in front of my eyes....so much cleaner and brighter......


and white!......mmmmm.......I decided to leave the remaining peeling varnish that was on the bench and just paint over it. Partly due to wanting some character left on it and partly due to plain impatience and laziness.....


I was also tossing up the idea of giving her a little sanding and shabbying up but for the moment I'm happy with her just the way she is....all shiny and new....well...sort of.

                                                                               
                                                                              
   I'm off to play with my children....

 And possibly find something else to paint......

    Brought a little smile to my face when I spotted 'my' blue/white stripey scarf and 'my' gorgeous girls coral red/pink slip-ons in your hallway...
