Shabby chic bench

I bought this bench from The Merchant Chandler http://www.themerchantchandler.co.uk which is a chain of shops in Kent with a sort of hippy chic, bohemian festival vibe and they do mail order. I painted it in Lichen  (I should have shares in Farrow and Ball) and the skies became totally incontinent so I have to do it again.
