From trash to treasure?

So I’ve been trying out new hobbies.

We have a lot of old furniture and fixtures.  This bench I think was found at a yard sale.  IMG_5763
It was unevenly painted and much build up in the crevices.  Gross.  And yes that is painted wicker you see.  IMG_5764
Even more dirt/gross in between.
So we decided to redo it.
With paint.IMG_5765
And fabric.IMG_5785
The process went like this: clean, sand, clean, cough a lot, buy an old curtain, buy some spray paint, prime, paint, regret paint choice, buy cushion, flip wicker seats over, upholster or whatever you call it with cushion and fabric, realize the seats don’t fit, sand the hell out of the corners of the seats, one still doesn’t fit, sand it more, set it in, still wonder if the paint choice is right, ah the hell with it, put it in unmatching room with messy floor of old paint.
