Bringing a Wood Bench Back to Life

Happy Saturday Friends! I have been working non-stop lately to bring you lots of new projects!  Today I will share one of my favorites!  My apologies in advance for the lack of photos, I got so into the transformation I forgot to stop and capture the process. Read More
Glossy red wood benc, a painted furniture makeover
This cute wood bench was found in the back of a 1-800-GOT-JUNK truck.  I asked the driver if I could have it and he happily pulled it off for me! ​ It looked liked it had been in a garage for a few years and was covered in dirt, dust and spider webs.  After a good cleaning I removed and separated the legs and tension bars.  Then I gave them a light sanding and put the base back together and reattached it to the seat with wood glue and fresh wood screws.
Wood bench makeover, from dingy to Pop of Color
Now that the bench is sturdy I can get started on making it pop! I added a coat of tinted primer and two coats of Benjamin Moore Paint in Red and I finished the piece off with two coats of Glossy Minwax Polycrylic.  Sanding between each coat and using a high quality brush makes for a beautiful and smooth finish.

Red Painted Wood Bench Makeover
This painted bench adds personality to any room.  I can envision it as a pop of color in an entryway, as seating for a kitchen table or topped with some fun throw pillows so you can relax on a porch or a sunroom.  A diverse piece of painted furniture that can fit into any room in your colorfully chic life!
Thank you for following along and see you next week!
