This week I wanted to share a bench we made from an old bed.
The bed is an antique single bed from around the 1930’s or 1940’s. My mom made
this beautiful piece mostly using the bed itself. This was her first attempt at
trying this and I think she did a great job!
She used the headboard for the back and the footboard was
cut in half and used for the sides. I helped her by holding each side steady
and level as she mounted it to the headboard. Once that was finished she used
all the side rails for the front and in making the seat. She used trim to
finish the edges and upholstered the seat. My mom then painted the piece with
this yellow cream color and once it dried she distressed it to give it a shabby
chic look. The best part is she put wheels on it so it can be moved around
easily. I think it looks really good and it is hard to believe she has never
done this before. How do you all think it turned out?
