Finished bench

It got late last night, but I finished the bench!
Did you notice the M before?


Inside I've put a pink lining in contrast with the turquoise colour beneath the white paint.


 It will get a place in my conservatory.

 Left, right, I'm not sure yet.

It took 4 layers of white to cover the turquoise, and when it was fully covered, I sanded it again, showing the turquoise and bare wood, to give it a used look. It still feels silly to 'damage' a neatly painted piece, but I do like the effect, giving a dolls house the feel like it's being lived in, a home, instead of a show piece.

Hope you had a nice weekend full miniatures to enjoy as well.

No, I didn't see the "M" - how clever to use a filigree with the intial in it. It's a very pretty piece and perfect for the conservatory. I really like the use of the filigree in the back cut-out.

I hadn't seen the M either, until I already had decided that I was going to use this piece for the bench, was so happy to see it (could have been any other letter, but it was 'my' M!)

Marit, your bench is STUNNING! I love the filigree and the original shape - what a treat that it has an "M" hidden in it! Your conservatory is looking great!
