Headboard Bench

Hey Ladies,

Sorry it has been so long since a post. summer is keeping me super busy with the kiddo's and all. I am hoping that this project will make up for it.

I have been wanting to do this for a long time, I just haven't been able to find the right stuff to do it with, until last week when my neighbor put this out on the lawn for trash day. I ran over and snatched it up and was able to make this with the help of my husband. (I'm not very good at math, so he helped me decide how to attach the bench and what lengths and things.)

It was originally a day bed. These are the two sideboards.This is the long headboard.

So, I went to work. I cut the Head board in the spots shown to make it the length that I wanted.
Then, I sawed off the posts on the side boards for the legs of the bench.
The part that I used for the seat was a piece of scrap wood from another project that I am hoping to get done soon. I screwed all of them together with help from my husband, then painted and wahlah!! Here it sits in this cozy corner in my backyard! My girls love to go back there and just sit! It is sooo cute!

Been a While....

Been missing- sorry! Life catches up to you hard core sometimes and that's just how it is. BUT, I did this projects this morning that I LOVE.
I was lucky enough to attend a scrapbook convention over the weekend and a company was clearancing out a lot of vinyl product. So of course... I jumped on that boat! lol

I've had this mirror for a long time. 2 years ago I painted the frame black and just today- added my clock.

It's a vinyl clock kit. Comes with everything to need to make this clock. I had wall space, but my walls are bumpy, so vinyl doesn't like to stick to it all that well. I thought it might be different and fun to put my clock directly on my mirror.
Now here are the before and after pics- totally easy and it the whole thing cost me about 30 minutes and $15. Cute right?!

Toodles!
