I had this great potting bench that has doubled as a server on my deck. Problem was it was painted a boring shade of off white and it needed a good coat of paint so I decided to have some fun.
I found this great shade of pink in the returned paint section for a couple of dollars. After sanding, priming and painting it pink twice, this is what it looked like (above). Very bold and vibrant!
I could have stopped there but I thought I'd try to give it a more subtle look. So I gave it a taupey-white wash by ragging it on. It took 3 coats to get it to look like this. I left the bottom shelf full-strength for a bit of contrast. Now it looks like this (above and below)!
Who knows...maybe I'll paint it a different fun color next year!

    This post made me giggle! Now if HOT PINK does not get one motivated to garden, NOTHING WILL! I could not look at this bench without wanting to plant some flowers! It is ADORABLE!
