And now the moment you've all been waiting for...

(I write the title like I have people just waiting at their computers to see the finished product...)

I did it

(We did it - I can't forget Jessica in this because, well, she found the bench, she helped with the distressing, and most important, she had the vision!)

The bench is FINISHED!!

It's kinda a weird angle...but there it is!

The hinges were painted white, so I stripped the white off down to their bare brass (hehe...pun totally intended!)

Little detail of the distress marks

So all in all Jess and I are so happy with the way it turned out!

Vintage style bench - $65 at the thrift store

Blue paint (name of the paint is a secret...shh) - $15

Grand total of $80!
