Isn't she a beaut? Before, it was covered in a not so attractive chippy paint and had been used as a place to put on shoes on a back porch. I am a big fan of chippy paint IF it's the right color, and in this case, it wasn't. So the hubs pulled it apart, stripped and sanded for hours on this puppy. He was near the point of hating this piece. He actually put it back together, and thought it looked like junk, so he pulled it apart again, finagled a little bit and put it back together again. He is so proud of it...now:o)
You can actually see the beautiful wood grain now. It can "comfortably" seat two adults...who are medium sized that is;o)
Now my two sweet little precious ones are definitely not allowed on this bench. There are cracks that can easily collect food droppings. We'll see how long this lasts;o)
Are you digging the flowers?
So these are residing on my coffee table. The kids love seeing them too:o)
E made his mark on the table before I was able to get a shot of it:o) Oh well...
I hope that you all have a wonderful Tuesday. I will be spending a good portion of my morning at the chiropractor, and then off to the pool. E has swim lessons, and he is doing so good:o)

It looks great! I have a very, very precious old bench at my kitchen table. i had a cushion made to fit it (ordered online) which has helped reduce the wear and tear the kids and dog make.
wow...that was tons of work but well worth it!
Hey! I found a link to your blog (and mine too!) on a RUSSIAN website. I’m sending the site and I also translated it with Babelfish translator. Thought you might get a kick out of this. Too funny!
