Are you guys so excited that summer is HERE!!  Woohoo!!

I have been working like a madwoman getting my front yard, entryway, flowers, and patio all spruced up.

Last week I showed ya how to revamp some boring ‘ol flower pots…

Today, I’m gonna show you how to add some flava to an old bench…

Supplies:

• An old bench or piece of furniture

• an old tarp

• sandpaper

• spray paint primer

• spray paint (I chose to use two colors)

In the picture, you can see that this bench needed A LOT of love…  We had to tighten and add screws to the entire right side of the bench before we started painting.

Step 1:

Step 2:

Before you start painting, make sure you cover and protect the area around your workspace.

Step 3:

This wood was in such bad shape, it needed a couple good coats of primer…

When the primer is dry, spray with a couple coats of black spray paint.  Allow to dry for a couple of hours between coats.

Step 4:

Step 5:

Again, spray with a couple of coats.

Step 6:

What a difference a couple cans of spray paint can make!!!

Now all our little bench needs, is a few pillows to dress it up!!
