Lord y’all.
I am painting everything that will hold still around here!
And Nantucket Green appears to the color.
Today’s victim:
I found this bench last Spring in the front porch area at Habitat Restore. I remember it being a good deal but I can’t remember exactly what I paid for it. When I find these types of benches I usually keep walking because the are rickety as can be. I snapped this one up because it was pretty solid.
I was out on the front porch on Saturday with a broom knocking down one zillion spider webs, trying to spruce up the joint for Easter Sunday Dinner. And I just kept eyeing that bench. As per my habit…..eyeing almost without exception leads to painting.
Or at the very least…….moving around:)))
Nantucket Green is the perfect vintage green in my little opinion.
Two good coats covered the bench really well and then I got my orbital out and I very lightly and very carefully went over the entire bench to weather it. There wasn’t really any danger of it but I didn’t want it too look too perfect. I want it to look like it had been on the porch for a few years.
It feels silky smooth now. I love how the wood grain shows through, kinda time worn. I am also enjoying the pop of color out here.
In other news……my shop is pretty empty.
Good problem to have:). So I will posting lots of furniture makeovers…….coming right up!

fabulous! I love it all. for those of you that have a large porch, is so lucky. I have a very small stoop, and always wanted a large porch to decorate it like you have done to your. thank for sharing your wonderful decorative porch.
Nantuckdt green makes my heart pitter patter!! I have an old hoosier been thinking about painting that color…i know some would szy that is blasphemy but the paint really brings out more detail in my humble opinion 😄
Girl I feel the same way!
Great color! I keep going back and forth from white to black to white and back to black for a hall tree that gives me heartburn every time I walk by it. But this green just found a place in the volley.
Looks good. Pinned! Thank you for sharing at the To Grandma\’s House We Go DIY, Crafts, Recipes and More Wednesday LInk party! Hope to see you again next week.
I love the makeover. How I wish I had a porch like that.
This turned out beautiful. Makes me long for summer!
