Great idea! I loved this bed in your garden last year. And, you're right...your forsythia is beautiful...and so is your furry one!

I love your planter idea. I'd be tempted to put something viney in it to grow up the back-- and something tall and very colorful to stick up between them.

I have a bed similar to that in my attic. I "inherited" it from my Grandparents house when they downsized. (by inherited I mean I saved it from the trash pile-- I was 15 lol some things are just in the blood)
I've often thought of making it into a bench but I really don't want to cut it.
I might have to steal this idea.

Great planter! I would love to have a bed in the yard as a "flower bed", but really don't know where I'd put a full-size bed. I like your idea to just make it hold the planter box...the idea is there, but doesn't overwhelm size-wise!

And your little one by the forsythia is adorable!!!

frou...I am really liking this idea of making the bed into a planter! Now I'm brainstorming ideas for the "planter" itself...would you use "round" planters or make one oblong wooden one? I'm visualizing an angel statue or woman statue standing among some round pots of gold or amber colored...and a vine growing along the headboard...maybe a perennial clematis like "Sweet Autumn" that blooms in late summer small white flowers.

Ohhh, I'm dreaming! TFS this great idea! I have 2 brown metal headboards (twin size) that I got last yr. & have not figured out how I wanted to use them...this idea of your's may work...altho I think mine are the same ht. TFS!
