You guys are seriously probably sick of looking at benches... but seriously people they sell!  So here is an old storage bench.  The previous owner cut the back off.  What a tragedy!  It would have been way cooler with the back but it was still pretty dang cute the way it is.  I stepped away from the spray paint for a moment to go back to my white washing technique you can see here and here.  It is so easy to do and always looks so shabby and cute!

Have a happy Monday everyone!!

Nope, I never get sick of benches...or any of your re-dos for that matter!
ReplyDeleteWhere's your store? I just saw on craft wars that you live in CO. I am right outside of Denver and am always looking for cute crafty stores to check out!
