This solid oak hand crafted bench is well built but the dated heart cut outs and orangy stain begged for a makeover.
We first disassembled it...
sanded the areas where the glue left ridges ...
then cut the heart ends off giving the edges a more modern straight edge.
The the new straight edges were routered to round them to match the original edges.
Scrubbed but and ready to paint
I originally thought a warm white but amazingly for the 4th project in a row I chose a green color. This time it was Country Chic Paint in nocturnal.
I applied 2 coats with
new shorty Cling On brush , just as amazing as my favorite Cling On F40 but short handled and holds more paint.
And once both coats were dry, I applied Country Chic clear and antiquing wax to give the matte finish some shine and definition.
