Porch benches

When we purchased our gingerbread in September, there were a pair of old benches on the porch. They were painted blue with light blue contact paper on the top and were positioned against the front railing on either side of the porch. We used them to sit on and for tables.

We brought them home to fix and paint. Over the winter, we removed the contact paper, scraped and sanded (repeatedly) and finally painted the new color of the railing, an artichoke green. Wendy finished them by stenciling flowers on the top.

Unfortunately, we did not take any before pictures but we can show you the after picture! We are looking forward to taking them back to the house, sitting on the porch in our new rockers and having a glass of wine! Hope you will join us...
