Salvaged bench

 
This little bench was sitting next to the garage for many years waiting for me. I don't remember how many times I almost took it to the dump.  It was rickety and very weathered.
 
 
 
 
So it finally got a makeover this morning.  I put a few nails here and there to keep it from wobbling and it's not too bad.  Now it's the little welcoming committee. I mixed some paints and got this nice beachy color. I put some water to make it thin and just let the thirsty wood soak it up. It still looks weathered, just better
 
 
 
 
We're number 10, just like the British Prime Minister.
 
 
I just need a new beachy door mat. Oh, and a porch light. We've only lived here for 15 years!
 
 
 
Darla and I spent a morning a few weeks ago picking up driftwood from a little beach on the side of the Lake Leman.  The rest is stuff I found as I shopped in the garage.
