Front porch benches!






When we moved, we doubled our space internally, but we also upgraded to a full acre. This meant a ton more work for yours truly, but also meant some neat projects. I now had a front porch surrounding this fabulous yellow door. 



Look at that beauty! Yellow door surrounded by white and dark grey (taken during construction). We wanted to frame the door with some tall planters and benches with pops of color. I wanted to make sure that the benches had a little character. 

I found these plans from Ana White and customized them to fit our space. I needed two benches-- one two panels wide and another three panels. For this project I used my favorite tools



I primed the wood with white oil based primer. 








Look at how that pretty blue pops against the stone and the wood grain!
