Hello my dear Steemians,

 

Today is my post about our restoration project to upgrade a garden bench. It took us few weeks but finally it looks great, I will give you few examples of how the changes happen.

Here how it was looking like before, all in white colour that was blistering and falling off, as well as the metal frames started to rust.

Here how it was looking when we took the timber planks from bench.

Here is nicely looking metal frame, hte whole white colour with rust is removed and here are the timber planks that we bought, we tried to see how htey look and if they fit together. Everything is good.

The next we need to cover the metal frame with special metal paint and also the wooden planks need to be covered with protective oil.

Timber is now treated with special oil and ready

Here is the metal frame covered with "Hammaeritte" Bronz paint, that was a great choice and looks awesome!

Looks great and stylish and very expensive ;-)) I love Hammerite - using it for all old iron parts...

Yes, it is a pity to leave it in garden for wind and rain :(

Wow! This is so beautiful. I was really interested in knowing how the finishing will look like and I'm impressed because I'm not disappointed in the final looks.
Thanks for remembering to mention me @stef1

Yes, the new look is great, it was worth to restore it instead of buying new :)

That is called recycling.
