When a project is better in your head....

Ryan found another bed to turn into a bench.

In some ways I liked it better than the one he made for me.

But this one is going to the store...

He found this double bed at a thrift store.

He cut the foot board in half and made the arms.

The first bench we he made from a twin bed ,

he made it kinda narrow,

I can only fit half a butt cheek on it ....

( I'm not that big , really )

So anyway, I asked him to make this one a little wider.

He even got a little fancy around the bottom of the seat.

He did I great job.

Then it was my turn .

YIKES !

This had to be one of my most trying paint projects yet.

A few colorful words were used in the painting of this bench.

In order to not offend anyone,

I will keep those to myself !

Anyway...

After 2 cans of my favorite spray paint ,

one coat with a brush ( which I hate more than anything),

then another can of spray paint.

I finally decided ENOUGH !

I wasn't totally happy with it.

I think this may have been the perfect project to try chalk paint on..

too late now....

Ryan also "found" this little Queen Anne table for me .

They're both a little chippy and rustic.

I think they would be perfect for a porch don't you ?

Ever have a project that just gave you fits?

This one did me :)

But it's done ...

I think I deserve a cocktail ....

And what would a Wednesday post be without an Addie picture ?

Just can't do it !

Being silly with Tippy....
