Anita,

Thank you so very much for your kind words. Honestly, I’ve never seen a church pew while thrifting. I found this on Craig’s list many years ago. Traveled to TN to get it, brought it home spruced it up, and then drove it back to Nashville TN to give it to my daughter.

I love that you retained the wood finish. What a gorgeous piece! I hope you find the perfect spot for it. I’ve always loved the simplicity and character of church pews. They are really hard to come by out where I live. Thank you for saving such a treasure.

Awww, thanks Denise. It’s still not my style, I would love it more if it were painted. 😉

Vicki,

The “fix” is shown in the very last collage. I sanded the back, and reapplied a few light coats of gel stain.

Church pews are so charming. I am a bit confused, however. You said you were unhappy with how it looked and about to give up and paint it white, but then the tutorial ended. What did you do to fix it?
