Old Headboard = New Bench

 I picked up this old headboard from a friend last week. Midway through construction I grabbed the camera and took a few pictures.

 I filled the holes on the headboard with wood putty.

 And used 18 inch spindles for the front legs.

 I love the look of chipped paint. In order to achieve this look I stained, put on a white coat of paint and topped it off with a grey paint of coat. And then did my distressing.

 For the seat I used old wood, sanded like crazzzzy and cut to fit the size I needed. 

I love how this beauty turned out!
