Wax it, oil it, but don't paint it please. The wood is beautiful and it goes soooooooo well with the staircase and the woodwork-- colorful cushions are the answer yes yes yes Just happened in here and enjoyed your picture hanging — the hall looks great but I have to agree with Margaret and Joanna– don’t touch that bench!!!!!

I enjoyed this, the garden, and the roasted tomato sauce. How about a small throw over one of the arms (if not pillows) and a colorful runner on the floor?

Then use a cushion on the UNPAINTED bench with some of the wall color in it. Definitely paint the register and doorbell cover to blend in. I think a print of some sort with the wall color in it would be great and maybe with some yellow and green and blue to pull the colors from your hutch in the kitchen....just a thought. I do think the hall looks a little blah without much color to spark it. Just my thoughts but as one former art major to another. 3rd floor Strong in the old days!!

Okay! I promise not to paint the bench. I will happily cross painting the bench off of my list! Besides! This frees up more time to stare into space and I am always desperate for that! Okay! Okay!

It needs a pretty pad to cushion the blow when everyone drops books, backpacks, bats, gloves... (you get the idea) on it as they pass through. Love the wall - thanks for the inspiration; although, now I'll have to take a week off work. Don’t paint the bench.
