So, I realized that I had not used my dear hubby's sander nearly enough this summer, AND I had some pieces of scrap wood I "found" in my daddy's workshop. We really needed a place to hang pool towels (that is, besides the back of the new patio chairs), so I dug out this little scrap:
This is actually a piece from the broken desk that my dad fixed for us.
So, out came the sander - not very much sanding was needed, just enough to take a bit of the stain off.....
And then I added a little whitewash paint (my favorite is from Hobby Lobby) and a tiny, tiny bit of black, applied with a dry brush. Finally, I added the rack (also from Hobby Lobby - clearance section).
Now, I need to start on the market sign above the french doors!
