new bed

19 years ago

my brother gave this to me a couple weeks ago and I finally got it set in the place I want it. Its in a little corner of the house under the camilia bushes. I am going to have the DH build a wood frame so I can fill it with dirt and plant some pretty flowers for spring(-: I think pansies will be perfect for this area(-: It took me all afternoon to get the leaves all cleaned up and the branches cut out of the way to put the bed there. That bed is heavy!!!!! Its an old iron bed. Someone threw it out thats how my brother got it for me(-: Heres the pic

It's a beautiful bed,it will look cute as a flower bed,though. I also have an iron bed similiar to that,it was my Granny's. I just had to have a small piece welded this winter on the footboard. I love the way the paint is all chippy on it.

Wow, I would slat it up, add a foam mattress and take some naps out there. Put some plants all around it. Oh for nice warm weather.

WOW!! Is that ever gorgeous! What a wonderful brother you have. I'm a sucker for wrought iron in the garden. I think it's great that someone threw it away - gave someone like you the chance to make something beautiful in the garden with it.

Cindee, what a great find. So nice your brother thought of you and grabbed it. That looks like a perfect location for it--will be a happy sight when you walk around the corner of the house and see your "bed" of flowers. ;o) Luvs

I can't believe what some people throw a way. Lucky for you. I probably would paint it and use it in my house but it's going to look great planted in your garden.

I would have kept for a spare room bed too but it is broken in several spots. The headboard has a break around the main post and where you hook the rails too on the sides those are also broken and also one of the rails on the headboard is bent. I am sure it all could be welded up and fixed but I just decided it would be a cool flower bed instead(-: thanks for all your nice comments. I will post a pic as soon as its all complete(-:
