Houston, we have a bench!

Hey y'all! This morning, I painted our bench that Hank built yesterday. It was a quiet morning here at Perkinsville, so I was able to get it done by lunchtime...

I used Behr Premium Plus - Paint N Primer in one, exterior semi-gloss enamel. I envision this bench being outdoors, so I want to make sure it will last in the elements. I used a small roller to paint the flat surfaces, and a brush for the crevices.

Loving this color - it's Behr paint, "Big Surf" in case you want to know...

Here's the finished product before glazing. I almost left it as is, but I know glazing can work magic on piece like this!

Here is the glaze I used - Rustoleum, Decorative Glaze: Java Brown.

It's a little scary brushing it on at first, just do a small section at a time so it won't dry up on you...

Then wipe off with a damp rag, followed by a dry rag. You can see how the glaze is settling in all the right places:)

A subtle detail that adds so much character!

The finished product! Hope to make more of these in the future!
