Yesterday

I took this....

and made it look like this...

This extra-long (and extra-cool) bench was a total score! One night Dave called me from work and said it was sitting in the back hall of his office to be taken out with the trash. So we did what any bargain lover would do...we picked up the van from his parents and headed straight to the office to rescue it. It's the perfect size for the back patio. Tall enough to use as a long bench, but I also have this vision of a bunch of mismatched white chairs just scattered around it and using it as a table. Who knows what it will be used as, but I am so happy we saved it.
