It has been a great week! Thought I would finish up painting our latest bench this morning before we enjoy our holiday weekend. See pics below!
Here's what we started with: a full size headboard and footboard.
Hank cut the footboard in half. These will be the arm rests/sides of the bench.
He then used the original side rail for the front base... We also added tapered feet mouldings to the bottom to give it extra height.
Added 3/4 inch sanded plywood for the seat. Also added moulding around the edges to give it a clean look.
Here I am painting the base color. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of the rest of the steps! (blog fail!) After getting the base color on, I dry brushed white paint over the top, distressed with sandpaper, then glazed.
Really happy with the way it turned out! This was a new technique for me, so it was a little scary! This beauty is now for sale! Contact us for more information.
Hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July!
