A DIY Garden Bench



                                                               Happy Monday!

              Today  is Metamorphosis Monday and Tweak it Tuesday so I want to show you our garden                  bench project makeover from an old wooden bed.
                    I found this sturdy old bed at New London Joy shop last month-it was $40 and I was pretty
                   sure my husband would be up for a little DIY project. And sure enough the same week he cut the foot board in half and used the wooden side rails for the seat-he had to add one pine board at the back to have enough. One side rail went across the front underneath.  He built a frame inside under the seat with 2 by 4's and screwed it all together.
            Then I gave it a couple of coats of creamy white exterior paint and we were all done! I love how solid it is and it looks pretty good too! Thank you Andrew for a job well done.
                                                  The before shot.
                                  Now you can sit on it for awhile with a cup of tea and a book.
                I picked a beautiful garden bouquet for you and used my old antique pitcher.


                       I am joining BNOTP for Metamorphosis Monday.

                     Also, joining Cozy Little House for Tweak it Tuesday.
