Green Rustic Church Pew Bench

Found this old church pew in pieces.....so we sanded it down, did some gluing and screwing....was missing the bottom piece for the compartment so we had to make one to fit.....


And here is is!  I painted it green and stained the back and bottom pieces.  Then I stenciled 2 patterns in the middle green and added 2 door handles on the side to hand things on.  





It flips up on the seat stained in there also.


It came out so gorgeous!  This pew took alot I mean alot of work especially putting it together.  But, it was worth it.

Rustic Black Desk Table

Before .....


Had a particle board top that was warped.  So we took that off and sanded down the wooden bottom.





Had some loose cedar boards, sanded them down and used them for the top.

After....


Painted the bottom black, polished up the handle which is gold color.  




Stained the top and added polyurethane to seal it.  I just love it!  I think it could be used as a desk or a kitchen table.

Teal Green Dresser & Table Drawer


I should have taken a picture of this one, but forgot!  Anyways, the top drawer was off of the front so we had to repair that.  Then sanded it down and painted it teal green color I made.  Painted the handles gold.


To match the handles I decided to paint the sides gold also.


Did the same to this one sanded down then painted a teal green color I made and painted handles gold.


Also painted the sides gold to match!  Love them so:)
