Hi Everyone! My two-day fair is this weekend. I've gotten everything set up and ready to go and we did it in record time. Now I just need a good nights sleep because tomorrow will be a long day. So tonight I thought I'd show one of the benches I took to the fair.
I love how this bench turned out. My mom picked it up at a used furniture shop for me.
I love the lines on it. And it's one heavy dude! I think it's solid walnut.
I painted it first with a coat of black primer. I wanted black to show through when I sanded it back especially on the new wood.
I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Paris Grey. I love Paris Grey! It is my favorite color.
I sanded it to reveal the black and wood through the Paris Grey. I upholstered the seat in drop cloth. I love the way it turned out. Now I'm going to play with the dogs a bit and then go to bed early! Tomorrow will be a long day. What are your plans for the weekend? Make it great. Thanks for stopping by!
