Sit down...Stay awhile


We have benches on our front porch.  They are nothing fancy, but I've always liked them.  They convert from bench to picnic table in seconds.  After at least 10 years, they were in desperate need of a paint job.  Here's what they looked like before (this one is set up in table configuration):


I decided to break out of my safe mode and paint them blue.  What do you think?  I'm liking it so far.

  I love coming home!

Your house is fantastic! Talk about charming. And the benches turned out beautiful. What a clever design. Where did you get them? I love the splashes of bright color (the benches and the door.)

Hey Karey,
We bought the forms for the benches at a Home Depot-type store out here in the midwest, called Menards. That's just the frame and then you add your own 2x4 boards. Pretty slick!
