| I found this antique crib/daybed on FB Marketplace. |
 |
| The lady on FB had it dressed up as a daybed. I have wanted one of these to make into a garden daybed for a long time. Just never had the space. Travel along the next inspiration pictures I found on Pinterest and then see what I did with the above vintage crib for my house. |

| I like the scroll top but I wanted something less tall for sides and a little less fufu. So Terry and his handy tools removed the tops on each side. |
 |
| Here is what I did with the one I got on FB. Where the wholes were after cutting off the top part of the crib I found some old knobs to put in there. |
 |
| They add to the vintage vibe I wanted. |
 |
| It is still a work in progress. I have a few pieces left from where Terry cut down the top of the sides. I am going to experiment with stain and also just steel wool to see if I can get a more antique look. It is chippy now but I want to see if I like the antique finish better. If I change it I will show you what I did to get the antique look. Have a great week. Hugs, Kris |

What a beautiful piece and a perfect fit for that space. I have loved every home you have decorated! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's cute but doesn't look too comfortable, my back hurts just looking at it.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually very comfortable. I guess it is good you do not like the styles on my blog because you find fault with everything. Not sure why you keep coming back here if you do not like this style, colors or ideas. Have a great week.
DeleteKris, I love it so much!!! I can't wait to see more. You find amazing pieces! Hugs, Cindy
ReplyDeletethis is the cutest ever!!
ReplyDeleteIs it comfy or will you need to get a good seat for it? What a treasure!
This is so pretty and it looks perfect in that space. Enjoy the weekend Kris.
ReplyDeleteKris, such a lovely addition to your home. You always amaze me with your creativity. It looks fabulous. So glad you have room for it in your beautiful home. Xo
ReplyDeleteLove this! Always wanted one of these . . . . looks great! xo Kathleen
ReplyDeleteOh my!! That is just the sweetest piece and it looks fabulous in your beautiful home. I can't wait to see what else you do to it, but so far it looks perfect to me. I also have to say that I am IN LOVE with that dust ruffle. It's just so charming and dainty. What a romantic addition to your space. Enjoy it!! xo
ReplyDeleteThat turned out great. At first I thought you were going to put it outside but it is perfect right there. I am sure you will relove the removed pieces in some other way.
ReplyDeleteTerry, once again, did an admirable job. That man is amazing! If you get tired of him, please send him this way....even just for a couple of days....lol...I need some manpower here to get a couple of things done. xo Diana
Love this! It seems to fit your spot perfectly. Isn’t it great to have a husband that can bring your vision to life? Looking forward to seeing how the other pieces turn out!
