In the midst of my many makeovers I managed to get another chair painted. Remember the one I painted blue? Which I love how it turned out.  I adore how the blue turned out. I have several of these chairs I use for various things so decided this one needed to be white for my kitchen. This poor chair was weather WEARY so it took a good two coats on it. But the white gave it some life. It was a dingy yellow by the time I got around to painting it. My Herb Box redo looked so nice sitting in my freshly painted white chair. Decided to make a small burlap wreath to add to my chair. I am happy with this cutie sitting in the corner of my kitchen. Serves as two purposes too.

LOL!  Remember my little bench I bought 2nd handed? I had the perfect spot for it in my kitchen. After I sanded it and cleaned it I gave it a good thick coat of "Pure White" by Sherwin Williams. When it dried I went back and touched up any spots I may have missed. Which I have been known to do. (Remember, I DISLIKE painting) unless it's a can of Spray Paint and then you best move cause I might paint you. Ha!     I wanted the bench to have a little distressed look along with a little chippy going on. I wanted to bring out the age of that bench along with a white-gray finish.
