A Gift that re-Purposes!

I love to find new uses for old things. My mom's birthday was approaching and I knew she wanted a bench for her front garden area. I had seen some very cool outdoor furniture in North Carolina that were bright colors but very expensive so I decided to re-purpose an old bench.

I loved the wrought iron and that it had a floral pattern. But the wood had broken and almost rotted. So I purchased all new wood. I cut them to fit the spaces, sanded them to round the edges a bit, sealed them, and painted them with 3 coats of outdoor paint. I then sprayed the wrought iron since it had some rusty spots, and then Chris helped me take it apart and we drilled new holes and put the new wood on and here is how it turned out!

I love it, my mom loved it and it looks amazing in front of her garden area. A fun project that took some elbow grease but was well worth it!
