Hey guys, I got the rustic red bench finished up and now you can see why it was standing on end.

I used E6000 to adhere the stars to this end of the bench and……

to glue the horseshoe on the other end. I was sitting there holding the three stars in place while the glue dried and I got tired of waiting. I went on to other things when I heard a kerplunk! One of the stars fell off. I glued it back on and stood the bench on end so the stars would lay flat. Did the same thing for the horseshoe after the stars were dry. Do what you gotta do.

I shared this bedroom yesterday with it all tidied up and guest ready. I thought I would put the bench in there along the empty wall. I really like the less is more thing I have going on. So even though I like the bench and the color is perfect for the bedroom…..I will probably take it to the shop to sell.

The fresh flowers really pop. Love the bright yellow against the blue wall.

I took the soda crates from the workshop….you know I’ve been cleaning it…..right? I really have. It’s an ongoing process but I’m not stopping until it’s in order again. The crates were a couple I emptied while cleaning. I may keep the crates in the house for a while. They are the perfect size to store and display magazines.

  2. love love this and oh my what a change you made..this won’t last 5 minutes in the shop say hi to the jts and you have a good week end xx

  3. Love that bench! Could use one at my front door! If you are like me I kept all kinds of magazines, as I subscribed to too many, but not any more. I feel like I can get anything I want on the internet, especially these blogs! Just trying to help you unclutter!!!

    I have to say if I was a guest at your home, that bench would come in handy for my “stuff”…

  5. So that’s why it was standing on end! I love that bench, especially the color.
