Is it Monday again already? I thought I'd share the church pew I fixed up, or really just cleaned up. I got it at an estate auction, and it was filthy. My dad just shook his head when I said I was going to bid on it. He has no vision, but he has muscles, that's why I take him along. He helps me load all my new found junk. He always tells people he is my pack mule, but secretly he enjoys junk as much as I do. Anyways, here are the before pics...
I gave it a good scrubbing with just good 'ole soap and water, and then I just used Murphy's Oil. Check out the difference the Oil made...
And here is the after. It could still use some work, but it's good enough for now...
Check out a bunch of great transformations or should I say, Metamorphis' at Between Naps on the Porch.

Can I please have that pew? That's not fair that your canton shelf is already hung up. Mine is still in storage! :(
Oh my goodness! I need you to come shopping with me! That is absolutely beautiful, Steph!
The chruch pew looks amazing, you did a wonderful job on it.
The Murphy's Oil really brought out the beauty in the wood. Nice!
LOVE it! Such a fun shape and feature to the room! Trying not to covet:)
Beautiful find! Murphy's is the best, isn't it? Great job. Kathy
I've always wanted a church pew. But I wouldn't have room for one if I found one. But if I found one cheap enough, I would make the room!! Love yours and I'm jealous.
What a great find;) Good thing you had your mule with you(lol) French;)
What a wonderful pew and great transformation. This is great!
Have a wonderful evening,
