Furniture made with LOVE... Paint or not to paint....


Allen  and the kids made me this beautiful outdoor furniture for our family. I absolutely love it!!!


Now that I have it I need to add a coat of weather protection to it. Tell me what you think.
~DO we keep the beautiful wooden look?
~Do we paint? If you choose paint, tell me the color.

I like the wood look I think...but I can also imagine it really colorful...different colors on each...that your kids all pick out.

I would say not to paint. I love the natural wood but I would put some sort of wood protective on it. Just to protect it from the elements. But keep it natural!!
