My husband used an old ugly bed that was headed for the dump and made these for me. I painted them, distressed them and rubbed glaze on them.

Alice: I had a gallon of latex interior glaze left over. It is Colorplace which I think is a cheap brand sold at Walmart. For the red bench I blended in some acrylic burnt umber paint and for the green bench I blended in acorn colored acrylic paint. I brushed it on and quickly rubbed it off with a towel before the glaze dried. I had all of the paint on hand from other projects so I just experimented with it. I'm really happy with the finished look. Posted: 10:49 am on March 14th
