A Sunny Little Bench

   This past week I picked up a cute little bench from an antique store near my house. It was painted to match my hutch that I re-did & my entry table already, But I had a vision for this bench for it to be a bright color that would stand out. My amazing husband helped me a lot with picking the new color for the bench & this was our bright idea….

Bench Before…

Bench After..
I put the bench in our dining room by the hutch that I re-did… You can see the hutch HERE
This yellow candle holder that is on our entertainment center was the inspiration for the new color of the bench..
I chose a semi-gloss paint so that the bench would be easy to clean.
Before
After… Bella even likes it haha

I have a plan for what is going to hang over this cute little bench, but that is a project for another day…

I hope you liked my cute little yellow bench that I re-did! I feel like it was always meant to be this bright, sunny yellow color.

  12. Oh, what a fantastic bench. Love the yellow! I came by your blog from Better After and just like Lindsey, I adore the pillows. Where did you find them?

  13. I got the pillows from two different places even though they are the same pillow. Both from tiny boutiques.. one in Michigan and one in North Carolina! Can you believe that? Here's the brand if that helps.. Kate McRosie… Hope that helps!!!

    Hi Liz! Do you have a tutorial on how you did your hutch/buffet? I’m getting ready to do mine, it has a lot of detail like yours so I’m planning to use your chalk paint “recipe” so I can avoid sanding!

    I appreciate your blog very much, had a baby in January and work full-time, these projects help me keep my sanity and are SO refreshing. Keep it up girl, you’re doing such a good job. -Ally
