Donna,

Your comment is so kind! I thank you for appreciating what we both love to do! Did you know I was a pre-k teacher for 19 years? I guess I’ve always loved sharing what I know with others.

take care,
gail

What a fond memory you share with the family!!! This will be an end of bed bench for a friend. She fell in love with it as soon as she sat on it. 🙂
thanks for stopping by!

I’ve never heard about using brown craft paper to sand… I’m fascinated and definitely need to try!

I wish I had space these days for a bench. When I was a kid, the folks had a bench just past the living room where we would put our school books and stuff. It was great. Sadly, these days my house doesn’t currently have a spot like that, of course I don’t have kids, unless you count the cats…

I really like the look of the white top and stained legs! It makes the top pop out even more.

When I first saw it, I thought you had upholstered it in white vinyl, LOL! And too funny that Eli tried to carve his name in it. I did the same in the wood paneling of my childhood home…shhhh…
