After only one coat of paint this bench
was revived and modernized. Country Chic Paint’s short handled paint brush is the ideal tool for all painting jobs; the paint brushes on smooth, even, and very quickly which, as a mom to twin toddlers, is essential. I let my paint dry for 24 hours (the Twin Tornadoes were up from their nap so project-time was over for the day) before applying Natural Wax. This is by far my favorite wax finish for painted furniture. It’s so easy to apply and gives a soft sheen.
Using Krylon “Easy Tack” spray adhesive, I secured the foam cushion to the bench top, wrapped it in quilt batting for a smooth finish under the fabric, and stapled my fabric using my handy-dandy electric staple gun. For a finished look and to avoid fraying, be sure to fold the ends of the fabric under before stapling.
