Paint questions

I have a red farm style table and the matching chairs were just horribly uncomfortable. I found these two benches at a garage sale for $20.
What color should I paint, or should I just leave them be??

They are beautiful. I wouldn't do a thing to them. Looks like a great place to have a cup of coffee, read, and stare at the trees.

I agree. I love them mismatched. They look in the picture like you might want to sand them and put a clear finish over them. If you want them to be a set, you might add a runner and simple cushions to them that match. Awesome find!

Red, white and blue! I would leave them as well.

yep. both colors match the other colors in this room...If you feel you *must* do something, you could maybe white wash the dark one and sand some color off the light one.

I would do foam cushions in fun fabric to go with table

I wouldn't do a thing. Many of us go to great lengths to paint and distress our furniture to get this 'look'. It's a natural patina!

I agree with Wendy, I wouldn't touch the benches, but I might add foam cushions in compatible colors to your room. The natural patina just can't be replicated. Beautiful!

Looks nice as it is. A red, white and blue runner on the table would blend them all together nicely. Great find.
