Bed Flower Bench

18 years ago

It's been a while since I've posted on here & last year I had found this queen size bed at a garage sale for $2. I finally got DH to make it into a flower pot bench, since he's been laid off for 3 weeks now. I also had DH put some spindles that my dad gave me & ripped down the center as a little added something. The bed was originally a dark walnut stain, but we've been going with this barn red look for other items we have, so I like how it sorta pops against our dark colored house in the woods. Also, instead of using it as a bench to sit on, I decided to make it so I could set potted flowers in it.

P.S. I'd be THRILLED if it was put in the GJ Inspiration Album, if you wanted to have it in there.

    Your bench is beautiful and I love the color. I cant speak for the GJ album, but I have already added you to my personal saves. I really like it a lot.

    I like it. I wish I could find a deal like that. I have just the spot in mind for something similar.

    This is beautiful! I had never thought of making one into a plant holder.

    That is gorgeous. I'm sorry about hubby's lay off. He could always start making these and selling them while he waits to go back to work. I'd buy one.

    What a lovely plant holder that turned out to be. I really like the spindle adornments on it too. I just saved the photo to put in our Inspiration Album tomorrow.

    Beautiful! The spindles add the perfect touch.

    I absolutely love it - it's just my "color!" The split spindle gives it just the right amount of pizzaz too, it looks great. Send DH this way so he can make mine too (and I need shelves in the basement also, Haaaaa!) I also think your bench deserves to be placed in Purplemoon's Inspiration Album!!!!!!

    PS - I had to smile when I first saw your flower bench, it being up on blocks to protect it. I do the same thing.

    I *love* this! I've never seen a bed used in this manner - always as a bench to sit on. What a great job and a beautiful color!

    Very nice plant bench, Love the color and it just pops where it is. Your DH did a lovely job. Don't forget to give him all the praise we send. For some reason it makes them much more amendable to doing more for us.

    What a great idea! I think I have a headboard and footboard that would be great for one. You and Hubby did a great job! Thanks for sharing!

    Way to go on this, it is inspirational!!! Glad it got in the album! And like CT said, let DH know it's a great job! I love having a group of red in the yard!

    Great job! I agree that a flower bench is a great and different idea for a bed frame. The flowers will look awesome in it!

    Its in our album, have added several more photos today to different sub albums. Everyone might have to just check often to see "what's new". Tho many do come off here, I spend most nights prowling the Internet (since I can't sleep due to the Fibro pain, its a great distraction) for more photos for us. I'm on a mission, LOL.

    Bru, glad you jumped in. We're pulling out a lot of lurkers lately. How cool for us to get you guys to come out and play in the junk pile.

    hugs, Karen
