The bench was an old beat up Ikea number that was originally stained reddish brown, it sat outside for years. So I finally sanded it (cause Carlos made me) washed it down and when dry just sprayed it with a Rustoleum paint I call Brittany Blue. The wood was so thirsty it drank it all in, leaving just a hint of color.
