My Favorite Room.....The Painted Home

Hey there! I'm Denise from The Painted Home 

I'm happy to share my favorite room with Kim's Savvy Southern Style readers.

If you're like me, you're redoing rooms constantly, and creating new favorite rooms of your own.

This month, my favorite room is my newly refreshed porch.

I tried to refresh this room using as little money as possible, finding things at flea markets or on the side of the road. Some items I've tweaked, some I've left in their wonderful distress condition.

So, step inside and sit down and have a drink with me.

I hope you feel cozy & welcome.

Thanks for having me Kim.
I'm so happy to be a part of "your favorite room" series.
I hope some of you will stop by and see what I'm up to at

Don't y'all just love Denise's favorite room? I just love all the vintage goodies and cheery colors. What a great spot to hang out on this long holiday weekend.
 I hope you will pop on over and say hi.

You can see all the other favorite rooms here.

Hope y'all have a wonderful, relaxing, fun, or working outside like me, holiday weekend!

Dressed In Black... a French Bench

I have heard so many times folks say that every room should have some black in it and that black grounds a room. Well, I'm not sold that every room needs black, but I do love the look of black furniture and decided to update a piece by painting it black.

I decided to paint the bench in my great room black. I love caning and love how this turned out.

I had been wanting to do this for some time and finally took the plunge last week. 

I used Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint in Typewriter and just quickly brushed it on.

I was truly hoping it would start peeling and I even had used some Vaseline in places so it would help resist.

It did peel pretty good here, but most of the bench got a good sanding.

After all the sanding was done I rubbed the Hemp Oil on all over. I love using the oil. It is so easy.

I am happy with the way it turned out. It really looks like an antique with wear from many years of use.

You can see the before here of the last time I painted it. I liked that, too, but was ready to see it dressed in black.

Hope you will come back tomorrow for another guest blogger's fab favorite room.

Enjoy the long holiday weekend!

Before we start our weekly party I want to say how my heart aches for all those devastated by the horrific tornadoes this week. It is especially hard to stomach when children are involved. My prayers go out to all involved.

There was lots of wonderful inspiration last week. Y'all truly are such smart and creative spirits and I learn so much and gather great ideas each week.

Here are some features to inspire you.
