Wonderful Wood

Look what hubby brought home:
Oh, he knows the way to a girl's heart, at least this girl.  It is all different types of wood, some barn  wood, some other pieces.  A few square nails came out of some of the barn wood so it is old. My first project was a little, simple bench.
This is the most basic of construction and doesn't have a whole lot of stylish details, but a great shelf under the bench for shoes or storage baskets.
I painted over the barn red, yummy, delicious crackling paint--some bright green and turquoise.

Very little sanding and a little stain completed this simple bench.
