Bench Make Over...

We have this park bench, it sat under the pines for a few years. I just used it for decoration. I asked Ted to get it out of the ivy, so I could repaint it. When he pulled it up, the slats just broke into pieces. So Ted made new slats from some walnut wood, he had in storage. Then he spray  painted the metal pieces with a glossy white paint. I have it on  the porch ...it's too sweet to just sit under the pines now. We will put the little bench in the flower garden ....the one that the bees keep eating ...there must be a sap or something tasty for the bees. I will post a photo of it later. Today is suppose to be another glorious one....hope you can enjoy yours. xo

  5. Susie- that is just beautiful! I have 2 of those benches that I had slats made for them a few years ago and love them. I made mine shorter- only 3 feet long. Yours is going to be so nice for the porch! Tell Mr. he did a wonderful job! I am going to stain mine dark when we do the decking. We are having another beautiful day here!

  6. So glad that I stumbled on you while visiting Nana Diana. Your blog is precious and I do love the bench. I sure wish I had a handyman like yours:) Nothing I like better than my quiet time and a good cup of coffee.

    Hope you'll follow along with me.
