Heavenly Seating

Today I want to share with you some "Heavenly Seating".......ok maybe it is a former church pew.  It is totally fabulous though!! Again I need to credit my friend Sarah with this find. This pew did not make the cut when they moved to North Carolina, and as always I am willing to give any orphaned piece of furniture a new home. Well at least a temporary new home :) Here is the really dark and pitiful before picture. It was night time. It was in my garage. I am very impatient.

It is a really awesome length. Not too long-not too short.  There was a kneeling rail attached to the back, but I removed it. The end had a cross engraved in it, but I filled it in. No offense to anyone. I love the Lord, and wear crosses all the time in jewelry, but it just wasn't the look I was going for.

Just realized neither one of these pictures show the cross. Oh well, trust me it was there :)  I gave the pew a really good sanding and a couple of coats of flat black spray paint. I then distressed and waxed it and gave it a couple of ticking stripe pillows.

Really cute, right? I love it! It would make a perfect entry/mudroom seating piece or even a great addition to a dining room harvest table.

This former "Heavenly Seating" is now at Market Antiques in Ottawa waiting to go home with you!! Oh by the way, please make sure to check out  the Market Antiques page on Facebook!! They do a really good job highlighting all the awesome booths there!!
See you soon! ~Christy
