Hall Tree Bench
This hall tree bench is an antique and about 15 years
ago my sister in law gave it to me because she was moving.
I vaguely remember her saying not to do anything to it
(or something like that) and well I didn't...
until now.
Come on, really... it's been a long time.
I've kept my promise all these years and frankly, today, it was either paint it or move it in the basement.
It's a nice piece for the entry way but I just wasn't loving it anymore.
So today.... I did it.
Agghhhh! Committed!
I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in French Linen
(the same color I painted my lower kitchen cabinets)
so I knew I loved the color.
When the paint dried I distressed all the edges and let the beautiful wood color shine through.
I gave the piece a couple coats of clear wax and put the hooks back in place.

This feather pillow was the perfect fit for the seat and the
writing on the pillow went perfectly with the black hooks.
I painted the hooks black a while ago as a baby step toward painting the whole darn piece.
I have to say that I really hope one of my "favorite" sister in laws sees now that this really needed to be painted...
because it looks flippin' awesome and now I love it!
