Trash to Treasure --- Bed Frame Benches

Today's Trash to Treasure is about using  old bed frames to make wonderful benches like these.    What a wonderful second life for these old beauties.

 You will find the tutorial for this pink beauty here.   http://judysturman.typepad.com/in_his_grip/2010/04/bed-to-front-porch-bench.html

And here are a few of the benches featured  on this blog.   http://www.robomargo.com/bench.html

Notice how the finials on this one was done in mosaic tiles.
  And even chairs made into a bench.


And here is one more I came across on the internet that had been sold at an antique auction.

  2. WOW - what awesome benches!!! I wish my hubby was inspired to make me one, but he is an accident waiting to happen when it comes to working with tools. I don't even want to think about what he might do to himself if he got hold of a saw. I shudder to think.
    Thanks for sharing the links - LOVED viewing them all.
