When the Mariotti's moved they were trying to lighten the load in the moving truck and ended up giving us an old bench. It was stained a dark brown but I could see potential in it. Jeremy sanded it down and after a couple of months I finally made time to finish it. Jacob and I bought a couple of cans of spray paint and I let him get started. We didn't notice until he was almost done that we should have sanded it better and used a primer. The paint was being repelled in some places and soaking into the wood in others. I thought it would have to be a total re-do. But after it dried, I realized that I loved the look! So here's my shabby-cute bench in its new spot on my front porch.
