A large bench.
It just needed a tiny bit of loving.
You both have met before. See here!
The underbelly wasn't painted so I left it that way.This is the before shot.
I applied MinWax Poly in Mission Oak.
Spread it on with a foam brush, then wipe off.
The color is much richer.
The bench - so blue, so primitive.
Remember the surprise guest coming to my blog on Tuesday and Wednesday. Someone who has been missed in Bloglandia while she lives the life of ease completely tearing apart a house and putting it back together.
More hints tomorrow.
See y'all!

Beautiful blue bench!
ReplyDeleteI have that exact bench in green, which I never liked! Time to start sanding it.
ReplyDeleteYour color is gorgeous!!
I love the bench Donna!
ReplyDeleteCute bench! I love the blue!
ReplyDeleteLove that blue!!! I have my suspicions on who the surprise guest is, but I'll keep it to myself. Can't wait to see if I'm right. Looks warm and sunny there. I'm so envious!!
ReplyDeleteNice bench Donna and the color is perfect. You are really finding some nice benches.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Alright Lady.....Fork the Bench on over!!! lol! ;-P
ReplyDeleteI am actually on the hunt for one like yours.....I am hopeful that I will be able to locate one that is as nice as yours!!!
Love your bench, we used to make those all the time in Mt and some KY. Made them in lots of styles, colors, sizes. We still have some we made before we left MT in 99. I love them and won't part with them, can use them for so many things. We just used good old pine and those benches/stools have held up. Hubs used to cut them out, put together then I'd sand them, paint or stain after he went back on road. I'd be sanding and painting/staining in our mud room in the winter .
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and season
It does look prettier! I have a stack of 3 benches that I've never touched. Maybe I should!
ReplyDeleteLove the blue! I just painted a tool box I bought this summer that color--almost exactly. Am posting about it next week, I think. Love the final product :)
ReplyDeleteI love blue, it works well with the bench.
ReplyDeleteI love that blue bench. It would fit in just great in a number of places in my house.
ReplyDeleteShe's a BEAUT and cleaned up nicely! Kyla @ HouseOfHipsters
