Before Christmas I found this bench that maybe went with an outdoor picnic table in a previous life. It was red and nicely aged.
Above the bench is a coat or hat rack. Hooks are another "must have" in the entry. This one is simply a 1x3 of wood screwed into the railing with some generic hooks placed along the front.
Some of you commented on that awesome rocking chair in my Winter Living Room post. I have to admit, I am just "chair-sitting" for my brother. He gave this old rocker to his little wife when she was pregnant. They are in a transition right now so I am hanging on to the chipped white goodness until it has a permanent place to stay.
Isn't it beautiful? I have only gotten stuck in my driveway three times (with 4x4 vehicles). Not bad!
Well...Thanks for checking in here!
Have a lovely weekend!
PS: If you love benches too - here are a couple of tutorials on how to make your own. Enjoy!

I adore benches. I love the color you painted it. I would like our own snow and maybe a snow day? Stay warm, Holly.
Beautiful! I love benches of any kind. Years ago I built several of them. Wishing I had some of them now. LOVE the color you painted it. xo Diana

I love benches too. The one that you're just now sharing today definitely reminds me of the ones I grew up with on our back patio with our picnic table. You know I rarely see those anymore! You've found some great ways to use benches in your home.
