Black Cat Cottage: Present from Sonya and progress on bench

zaterdag 17 juli 2010

When Sonya received the present of my give-away, she wrote that she would send me something in return. But I didn't expect this much!

How nice is that! Thank you so much, Sonya! I'm sure I'll find a place for everything!

I have been busy myself too this week. Here's some progress on the bench:

The turqoise will be covered by white, so the colour gets trough the white when sanded for the old look. More on that next time.

That bench is wonderful, I don't know if I could bear to cover the turquoise with the white - it's so gorgeous! But I know the final effect will be fantastic...; 17 juli 2010 om 23:12

Marit zei: Thanks for your nice comments!
Patty, the wood I mainly used is 4 mm MDF. As it has no grain, it shapes nicely when sanding. Only the armrests are made of the kind of wooden sticks you get to stir your coffee.
