Trash to treasure find...

[Thomolli]

Daniel,

Love the cabinets! They'll look fabulous wherever you put them!

Super find, congratulations!

Another trash to treasure item. We bought the headboard and footboard for this old bed at an auction for $4.51. DH is in the process of turning it into a bench for me.







I'll post more pictures as the work progresses.

Kurt,

He is going to use an old wooden bed rail for the front. The seat part is still a mystery. We are going back to the junk yard I mentioned above to look for something to make the seat out of.

I will never look at junk the same way again. lol

Duh, of course an old bed rail. I'd be tempted to just use a piece of plywood an inch below the bedrail front board and upholster a cushion for it.

More pics of the bed to bench project. It is looking pretty good and it is super sturdy. DH can stand on it with nary a wobble or squeak! By the way, I am totally open to paint suggestions if you have one!

[Don M]

That is a very cool design!

Here is a new bench from an old bed that was here in the house when we bought it. Needs the seat and some paint and it's done.





Somewhere I have a photo of what it looked like before.

Nice, what are you going to do with these benches?!
