    I finished the bench yesterday and I'll be giving it to my mom today when I take her out for lunch (Two belated Mother's Day gifts!)

    After the first coat of finish:


    Finally!




    I can't wait to give it to her in an hour!!

    WOW!!!!! What a gorgeous job you did! Well done!

    Your mom will just love it, I bet.

    Yeah, she LOVED IT! Apparently there is a matching vanity in the garage, but it needs more extensive repairs than I can manage.

    Welllll, part of the vanity broke off during a move...I have no doubt I could reattach it with wood glue, but I don't know how sturdy/functional it would be....If I can convince my dad to do the structural repair, I'll definitely do the cosmetic bits!
