This bench is a great transformation from the twin size headboard we started with! The bench turned out much differently than my original vision but I am so glad I chose to follow where it was leading me because I love the vintage feel to it! It was fun making the gussets and the arms to further enhance the feel of something your grandma might have had in her garden. I chose not to take the existing paint (very chippy!) off before beginning the work with General Finishes Basil Milk Paint. I...

I sprayed the metal circles on each corner with thin coats of oil rubbed bronze, metallic gold and aged copper spray paint to have them blend with the gold on the pulls. I found the pulls at Home Goods. I am so...
