Hello Hello.....Happy Mother's Day!!!!
Today I woke up thinking that I'll get a lot of pending projects under-way...but it's raining cats and dogs!!! Since I cant't get any painting done...I decided to show you all a small project I just completed...a bed bench!
I've been trying to find a suitable bed bench/blanket box ever since we moved into this house..I've seen a few....but none seemed to fit what I had in mind....and not to mention the price tags!!!
When I found a wooden bench, I had a light bulb moment! What if...I painted it white (of course!) and stencilled it (maybe)....and used it as a bed bench and when I was tired of it...I could use it in the garden with the outdoor furniture...and the when I was really tired of that setting I could use it as a potting bench....!!! Recycle, Re-purpose and Reuse!!!!! I know the idea is a bit out there....but it kind of works!!!
So Take1, here it is in our bedroom...

I love the rustic simplicity of this piece...
I think the wreath looks more at home as the focus point in the bedroom...It was getting a bit lost in the living area.
It's not to big, not too narrow...just right for the size of the room! But boy is it heavy!!!
So here's the before....
And After...
Hope you all have a fantastic Mother's Day!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI am wanting to make something similar for our bedroom! I have plenty of leftover wood from previous home improvement/decor projects...unless I find a bench on a budget that I just can't pass up! Love it!
