Oh my, it has been "Forever"! I have been doing sooo many things I just have to share. I love to see what everyone is up to and hopefully you will be inspired to do some projects that you have had on the back burner.
I found this headboard at a garage sale. It was free. I have wanted to make one of those darling benches from a headboard and footboard for so long. Usually you only find a headboard and not the matching footboard. I was lucky this day.
I cut the footboard in half and trimmed the top down. Only because I didn't like what it looked like. Then you attach the footboard to the headboard at a 90 degree angle. I used screws through the back to attach them. I then put on the 2x4's for the base of the seat. I used 1x4's to make the top of the seat. I had to cut one to fit on both sides using my jig saw.
Here it is all put together. I spray painted it red, sanded, and then rubbed walnut stain all over it. I love how it turned out. So fun and unique.

I love this! I got rid of a twin headboard like this years ago, but guess what? The mate to it is still int he attic! Wish I had kept the other, but at least i can use one to make a cute bench. Now on my list of projects to do!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you must make a bench out of it. I love how they turn out and really not that difficult. I wish I had several more. Thanks for stopping by.
