Showing off a little

The boy's grandparents gave me an old grey metal bench that used to sit on their back deck.  I decided to spruce it up with some sanding and spray paint.  Wah-lah!

Please ignore any evidence of my extremely poor gardening skills.  They dead-looking leaves that stick up on the side of the bench used to be the beautiful blue hydrangeas the boy got me for our anniversary.  It was a wonderfully sweet gesture, seeing as how they were the exact color as the ones I carried down the aisle in my bouquet.  However, it wasn't long after that when the boy went south for a friend's wedding and I forgot to water everything.  Hence- long-shot at putting them in the ground, even though they were essentially dead.  Perhaps they'll come back next year!   Either way, the bench looks great, right?
