Farmhouse Bench Makeover

 When my friend, Debbie, & her husband purchased a farm, this bench was left behind...

Although neglected & abandoned, Debbie wanted to save it & incorporate it somewhere in the new house they were building.

So, I started sanding away at all the loose, chipping paint.

Once I finished sanding, I painted the bench with the color, Fluff, from the Dixie Belle Paint Company.

When the Fluff was dry, I used the Royal Damask stencil from Dixie Belle and randomly stenciled some areas of the bench. I used the color Hampton Olive from Dixie Belle's new paint line, Silk.

Once the paint was dry, I sanded over the bench to maintain the rustic look.

Debbie gave the bench a beautiful spot to hold some of her plants in a beautiful sunny room.
