I just finished up this adorable little bench today. I started with an old twin headboard that I picked up for ten bucks at a thrift store yesterday. I love a good deal! :)
I had some scrap pieces of wood laying around from all my other projects, so I dug through to see if I could come up with something for my vision. I ended up with a 4x4 post, two 1x8x6 boards, and one 1x4 scrap. So I did some measuring {this usually makes my brain hurt!}, and made some cuts {this usually makes my hubby's brain hurt} haha, and got building! I simply made a skirt for the bench with the 1 x 4 material, using my pocket hole set. And then, there was glue... and screws... and sanding... and painting.. that was the long story short ;)
I painted this bench in the usual.. Vintage by Valspar, which I get at Lowes. I always finish my furniture with a good lacquer. I love Deft in Satin. I get that at Home Depot.
I hope you're having a lovely week! Thanks for stopping by to check out my headboard bench!! xo
