****Paint living room (Woohoo!)****

I thought I had blogged about my bench building a few weeks ago, but apparently not... so this is the background.

The 'beginning'

I built both sides all by myself

While I built the sides, Pave and his daughter put together his table saw... good thing, we needed it later!

Cutting down the 'seat' of the bench

I was to cheep to buy a 1"x12", so we put two smaller pieces together.

Ta-Da!

And this is it stained... the picture makes it look a little bit more orange, but the actual color is 'golden oak'
