A Pew Makeover

A few weeks ago I found this little pew:

And, as soon as I could,  I got out my sander…

But where to go from here?  There were so many possibilities.  I decided to stain it first:

Pretty, but a little dark and splotchy for my taste.  I broke out some white paint and gave it two coats.  Then, as soon as the back side was finished, it hit me:  wouldn’t this be the perfect place for a charming little quote?  I chose an excerpt from Proverbs 24:3 “By Wisdom A House Is Built.  Through Knowledge Its Rooms Are Filled With Rare And Beautiful Treasures.”  Then, with a stencil and brush, I added a little surprise and a whole lot of character to this once, tired old bench:

…cozied things up with a few pieces I had around the house:

And we now have a fun place to sit and sip cozy drinks this fall season:
