Bed, Bottle Tree & Beyond

17 years ago

I am still having trouble posting pics, I am trying to make them a little larger without ya'll having to click on them,am I the only idiot are what, if they make it, here is my great find while out GSing last weekend. This bed was laying by the road and the man said it was free, I thought is was a mirage, I never find anything free, DH rushed over to pick it up and I plunked it in the (flower bed) right next to my bottle tree. The flowers in it are starting to fade so I may make some glass ones to go in it. My bottle tree is a work in progress, I kinda of like the rustic mix of the different bottles, one thing I haven't seen before on the forum is putting glass flower frogs on them, hence the close up pic.You also get a peak at some mosiac s. stones I made 10 years ago.My new totems are still drying, before they find thier new homes.

    frou, frou...before you click to "upload your pics" on photobucket, there is a box located directly below it...says "reduce to:".... pick "large"... 640x480 (or something like that)...you're uploading small or tiny right now.

    These finds look great...but would luv to see a bigger pic! (that bottle tree looks great!) Great save on the bed! TFS! Jeanne S.

    That bottle tree is awesome - right up my alley ! I wanted to make a tree like that ..... but I know - no one would "get it" . They'd just go away thinking I'm weird.

    Love your bottle tree and the bed frame was an awesome freebie! They look great together!

    Yes they both look great.I have a bf like that have not desided what to do with mayby a bench.I will have to post a pic of my bottltree soon.

    Wow and double wow on the bottle tree ! I can see what looks like wooden dowels for the "branches", but what did you use for the "trunk" ? Love the bed also. I have an iron bed that's over a 100 yrs. old that belonged to a friend's great-great grandmother. She didn't want it and gave it to me. I have a feeling it may just turn into a flowerbed :)

    Very nice garden vignette you've created there. How lucky to get the bed free! I'm looking forward to seeing more when your totems dry.

    hugs, Karen

    Your bottle tree is incredible!!! Love it! And I like the way you have the head/footboards also - may just have to copy that idea when DH moves mine out of the shed. TFS

    Susan,
    I used a real cedar tree, they have a lot of limbs to start with, then DH added the dowels so I could have even more bottles and flower frogs. Thanks for looking.

    I love how you place the headboard and footbaoard closer together. Looks great where it is.

    The bottle tree is truly unique....which is what we strive for right? It reflects your personality. Thanks for sharing.

    I love it. Since no one mentioned it, I will say that the bench there makes it all an outdoor room and very inviting.

  • 17 years ago

    Very nice! I love that your bottle tree is a REAL tree! The bed was a great find.

    Daughter's best friend is selling a great bed for $40, and I keep thinking I NEED it...but don't want to pay $40 for it. I'm jealous of your freebie!

    Love the bottle tree with the mix of shapes, colors & flower frogs! The bed is perfect there! What is over the bench? Looks like mirror tiles. Very nice place to set down & enjoy the yard! Jan

    sunnyca,
    Those are mirror tiles glued to a square board and hung on a diagonal, there is a bird house sticking up in front,also I got the glider at our human society TS. for just $25.00, a little high, but I didn't even have to paint it.
