From Headboard to Bench... Furniture re do

When we got out "new" bedroom furniture one problem we encountered was, without a foot board our duvet {notice I got my shabby chic one from Target} kept falling off the bed... Annoying! I decided we need a bench at the foot of our bed, and I wanted it made from a twin headboard.

I picked up this twin bed at our local thrift shop for 9 bucks.
My hubby took the side rails cut them down and modified them to hook into the head and foot board. Then he cut down the foot board so it was lower.

We used the remainder side rails as the slats for the seat.

I spent the day sanding and painting and sanding again...

♥ it!
