We have an old nasty bench in our backyard. I don't know when it was built, I imagine from the first owners (we're the third), but nothing much has been done with it. While I would like to spend $600 on a really cool one I saw on One Kings Lane, I don't really think that's in our budget anytime soon. Man I want everything on that site.
Yep, nothing pretty. don't mind my ghetto hay as I weed the back area. It's a jungle out there, I'm in the process of getting it weeded and mulched.
I hate this bench. I really wanted to break it down and get a nice iron one, but then I saw some cool ideas on pinterest. So I bought some paint. and painted the whole thing. I originally painted it all white, but thought that was a little bright. I used the below paint from Sherwin Williams in marshmallow (or something like that).
I used my cricut to cut out the word Welcome and glued it down so I could get a stencil - like i saw on pinterest hahahah....FAIL. That didn't work out so well.
So I made a few touch ups.
And now it's not perfect, but it's much nicer.
