Here is one of the long side rails that we used for the back of the bench.
Nate cut one of the end pieces in half and used them as the sides/arm rests for the bench.
He attached the three main pieces of the structure together with deck spindles.
Nate used furring strips to create the seat.
Completed seat.
We painted the bench white, stained the seat in Minwax Dark Walnut, heavily distressed it.....
And now it looks like this!!!
I think it turned out pretty cute!!

What a great idea! I heard at a garage sale the other day that it is illegal to sell that style of crib as a crib now--so what a perfect use for one. It turned out great--wonderful remake!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I want to complement this page administrator for creating this platform for us to express our feelings. Herpes is a serious and recurring disease which can't be cured through drugs or injections by the American doctors but the best way to deal with herpes is by taking natural herbs medicine from DR. ISHIAKU the greatest herbalist doctor in the world and is only few American doctors that know about this herbal medicine from Dr ISHIAKU .. I have read about Dr ISHIAKU the great herbalist doctor from African who can cure disease with his powerful herbal medicine. for the people suffering from the following diseases, Herpes,HIV/Aids, Cancer, Also, Hepatitis, Diabetes, Hpv, Infections ETC should contact him for his herbal medicine because i am a living testimony and i was cured of herpes.

ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm working on a crib to bench right now, and I was wondering if you could tell me the depth of the seat? I've got the height figured out, but I'm researching the depth so I can get it right.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

i want to inform the public how i was cured of herpes Virus by a Doctor called Dr ishiaku. I visited different hospitals but they gave me a list of drugs like Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex which are very expensive to treat the symptoms and never cured me. I was browsing through the Internet searching for remedies on Herpes and I saw comments of people talking about how Doctor ishiaku cured them. I Was scared because i never believed in the Internet but i was convinced to give him a try because i was having no hope of been cured of herpes so i decided to contact him on his email, i searched his email on net and i saw a lot of people testifying about his goodness. When I contacted him he gave me hope and send a Herbal medicine to me that i took and it seriously worked for me, am a free person now without problem, my HERPES result came out negative.
