I am not one bit good at crafts. Today I bought this bench for a cheap price. It appears to be pretty sturdy. I think it needs new paint. A new color. And yes, dusted off. Paint brush or little roller? Spray paint? Varnish?? I looked and listened to Youtube videos about rehabbing furniture. Such slap dash know it all explanations! Grab a transfer and slap it on and tah dah. Done. About gave me heart failure. Not my level of doing. The bench sits in my back porch. Whenever we get honest to goodness warm weather without a drenching rain I plan to haul it out back for a sit in the sun time. For now its a back porch item. For fun I included Peter kitten in the photo. Note: computer is being fiesty and did not want to give me the photo. I think I won.

You won, love that shot of the kitten, he's pretty big isn't he? Youtube is great for getting ideas but sometimes it's best to use one's own intuition about things.

Oh, so the bench is not intended for people to sit on?

@rebelann Of course its to sit on. We humans just share with the fur kids.

@rebelann Interesting. I've been thinking that Peter is a shrimp and wondering when he is going to grow to normal size.

I wouldn't mind finding a good bench fairly cheap to use in our back yard. I hope you enjoy yours.

@DaddyEvil I hope you find your bench. I think I finally got the computer to hand over the photo.

@DaddyEvil Thanks to you. I think it needs some help but is pretty sturdy.

I love it but it could use a different paint color if you aren’t fond of it. I’m not a big fan of spray paint personally. Such a beautiful cat!

@shaggin I'm not fond of spray paint, either. I'm not super good at crafts in general.

I love the bench. I like the blue. A couple of decals would make it look awesome. But if that's not your thing, it looks great. Is Peter kitten part Siamese? He's gorgeous!

@just4him I like the idea of decals for the bench. Great idea. Peter kitten is a rescue but everyone says he is part Snowshoe Siamese.

@sallypup I'm glad you like the idea. I can see the Siamese in him.

Peter is such a pretty cat. The bench will look great on the back porch.
