Green Bench

With lots imagination this gorgeous headboard became a bench.  We had to find a footboard for the arms and then a seat was constructed.

There was a flaw in the motifs that were on the bed.  So the handy dandy hubby took the coping saw and fixed the piece on both sides so that they matched.  He had to do a little sanding to make the motif perfect.

With our famous primer, no one is able to tell that this motif was not suppose to look like this.

Next the entire bench was primed…..

then the painting began.  We only use Krylon spray paint on our furniture as it has the best nozzle and it is easier to use.  Plus the coverage is fantastic.  Several light coats are used and the ending results are like furniture that you purchase from the store.

We used Hosta green then distressed the bench before adding the final touch of a glaze tinted brown. 

I love the tall posts on this bench.  To me it makes the bench look so elegant.

After applying the glaze, the color suddenly changed and I love this bench.  We moved it into the living room where I will be able to enjoy it until it finds a new home.
