I have been an owner of this bench for many many years. It's an old Amish Bench I found in the trash at neighbors house when I lived in Pennsylvania. It was currently in the garage and served no purpose. I painted it white few months ago and moved it outside on the veranda. It just stood there...kinda lonely. When Cindy gave me the 2 chairs last week it made perfect sense that I'd introduce the chairs to the bench...so I did!
Annie Sloan Paris Grey, 2 coats and lightly sanded. I decided to be adventurous and ironed on a picture from the Graphics Fairy www.graphicsfairy.blogspot.com
Yep...with my iron! I was careful with it and placed a towel over the image but the paint still bubbled a a bit but it came out nice and rustic.
Before
And...After!
Look how pretty! It's not super comfy so I will probably just use it as a table
I had these pillows from Pier One that fit perfectly on the chairs
Bella approves!
Target has these lil buckets for sale for a $1
#22 my lucky number!
The bistro table and a chair got a cover of Paris Grey also.
I think we are in good shape for a Garden Party!
Thanks for visiting
