Bench Bench Bench

Today I need to finish this bench I started.  I bought it at a garage sale. It was a just plain ole pine when I got it.  The hubs said it looked like a kids shop project but I know it has potential.


So far I have only one coat of grey on it.. think I'm goin to glaze it with white jazz it up who knows?? Got any ideas??  (Please pretend that I have beautiful wood floors in my kitchen.  Due to having 3 kiddos in college for the past five years they were put on hold but hopefully soon... fingers crossed.)

Here's a few benches and stools that I have completed.








I think the last two are my favorite.  They are tiny little stools I love the ruffle one because I love green.  And the fleur de lis is special I wanted a french script and didn't know what to say so I translated the 23 Psalm with the help of an online translator.( We don't speak much french here in Oklahoma!!) I love love script of any kind it makes me smile!!!!

    I love your benches. The Psalm 23 translation is great. I absolutley love scripture in my home. Again with ruffles...I adore ruffles. I can't wait to see what you do with your new bench.

    I really like your benches and stools. Too cute! I must say though, that I love the last one the most. I had done something similar on the inset of my kitchen cabinet panels, except I translated a Julia Child quote about cooking into French and used that as background and then did an ornate Fleur de Lis over it. Guess great Okies think a like, huh? :)
