In my last post about Garden Benches seen here, I showed you a little sneak peek at a bench I was working on for my front porch…
Although it has always been under cover of the porch, the iron has started to age and look a little too rustic for my current tastes. So, I decided to give it a fresh coat of paint to clean it up and add a pop of color to the front porch…
I love the color of Krylon spray paint in Mountain View. It is a nice shade of blue that adds the perfect accent color to my porch. I also painted the hanging wall basket to match the bench.
All I did was give the bench a very light sanding, then put on a coat of primer with Krylon indoor/outdoor Primer in Gray…
This is the only “in progress” shot I took…for a couple of reasons. I was working between rain showers over multiple days and was so eager to get it done I did not stop to take step by step shots. Pretty basic stuff…lightly sand, wipe down, prime, then paint. Yes, there is another little project getting a new color too!
Doesn’t everybody's side yard look like this?
I am very happy with the results! I collected some fresh flowers from around my yard to fill the wall basket, added a wood stump side table, and a fun pillow to make it pretty…
How are you sprucing up your porch for Spring? Have you been spray painting any projects lately?
Please do share!

It looks beautiful! Don't you just love spray paint? What a difference it can make!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Laura. I love the lines of your bench, they're so fun and whimsical. I haven't started sprucing up the outside of our house yet this spring, it is the last thing we plan on doing before we put it on the market so it's fresh :). Beautiful photos too!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great bench, and the pop of color looks so good!

Just came across your blog. I love what you have done with your cute bench, the color looks so pretty and fresh! I'm going to have to remember the color you used. I am going to look for some tall topiary's to put in pots and find a new Spring wreath and possibly a new mat to spruce up my porch!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fresh color!
ReplyDeleteI'm back to see the results and it's gorgeous - I love the colour and everything you have put with it - pretty and stylish. What a lovely place to sit and relax.
