A bench.
But instead I came home with one of those wooden bowls that you see everywhere and super smart bloggers everywhere paint them and make them look awesome.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a before picture because I really didn't think it would be anything special, and I wanted to try the layering of the paint and if it didn't turn out right then it wouldn't matter anyway, right.
But I absolutely love how it turned out!!
Don't you just love her?
She looks dreamy, and now she sits by the door holding our keys.
I moved her so she could be seen in the light, in all her glory.
Linking up HERE and HERE!

Your bowl looks great! Nothing like a fresh coat of paint to change the look of something.
