This is my first big DIY project!!!
I have wanted a bench for my kitchen table for a long time, and have seen them all over the internet and pinterest. I've looked at them for a long time, and well if you've read my blog you know that I started this project Monday. I didn't have any intructions to follow or really know what I was doing, I just went out and started measuring, cutting and screwing!
Nathan and I worked really hard.
He was helping me to distress it here!
He worked so hard and diligently!
Now finally our project is almost complete!!
Look at those red cheeks from all the hard work!!
Yesterday I sanded and began the painting....
This is before staining, I just used some turquoise, celery green and a little red paint, that I had on hand...
After staining and polyurethane.....
I had fun, really had no idea what I was doing, and... it turned out! It seems really sturdy and I think it's gonna serve the purpose! NOW, I want to build a farm table to go with it!! Think I will wait on help with it though!
Awesome!! Looks fantastic! Are you taking orders? lol
