Bed Frame Turned Bench

I love old bed frames, unfortunately some of them have seen better days....This bed frame was no exception.




After I started sanding it down I realized there was about 6 coats of paint on this baby, out came the paint stripper.  I got everything  off I could with a stripper and it seemed like there was still so so much paint on there.  Lets see...we can count the layers
Cream
Pink
Primer
Blue
Primer
Pink
Needless to say there were countless hours spent sanding this baby down!
Good thing I had a very cute assistant to help keep my in line :)



This was a piece I cursed, but once I see the finish product all the hard work and hours spent seem to be worth it!  

I love the tongue and groove pine planks on the top they make this bench look so rich!


I am a fan pink and aqua together so I left a bit of the pink undercoat on to show through this bench which ties the pillows in even better!  


I love the texture of this piece.  It looks so rustic and adds so much character.  


This piece is For Sale please see my Furniture For Sale at the top of the page for more information.
