Hand Painted Carved Benches

Hi! My grandmother came to visit a few weeks ago, and before her visit, I was trying to think of a miniature project for us to do. Something fun, fast, and something that uses both of our creative talents. While trying to think of something,  I remembered how skillful my grandmother is at painting. Her paintings are beautiful, real life, and 3 dimensional. When I found some beautiful unfinished carved storage benches, I knew that they would be perfect. Below are pictures of the pieces of art created by my wonderful grandma and me!


This bench we painted with the theme of an Italian sunset. The red, orange, yellow, and blue remind us of the beautiful sunsets in Venezia. A splash of pink peaking out can be seen as a slight accent.





This bench we painted using greens and oranges to create a beautiful  look to be desired in all styles of houses, regardless of what time period or style!





This last bench was inspired by the bakery I am creating. But, instead of just using the pink and white theme I've been going for, I decided to mix it up a bit, using yellow and green accents!


As you can see, these benches turned out pretty good, and I had a ton of fun making them! Check back soon to see some Italian food! Also, below are the links to my Etsy shop where I'm selling the first two painted benches!
