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!
