How should I finish this shoe bench?

Country Design Home on May 27, 2014Cute bench! How you finish it really depends on whether you want it to stand out in the room or fade into the background. It sounds like a nice gray stain or paint would help it blend in, since those are the colors of the walls. However, if you wanted it to be a statement piece, then the teal is the way to go. Whatever you do to it, remember that its for shoes, which can be dirty and muddy, so make sure you use a good sealer!Helpful Reply

Jeanette S on May 27, 2014Great piece! Since shoes equals dirt, perhaps a dark grey close to charcoal would be good for the part that holds the shoes and then accent with a pretty burgundy red. Whatever you choose, be sure and pick a bathroom/kitchen paint that is washable!Helpful Reply
