I bought this old cot at our local flea market for $20.00, and knew instantly what I was going to do with it. However the rusty old silver had to go.
I started by taking it apart and using a wire brush from the shed I scrubbed and scrapped all the rusty bits off.
Next it was off to the hardware store for paint. I bought 1 can of rust killer and 2 cans of high gloss black.
Its starting to take shape. Im just a little bit excited.
Ta da...
To dress up my new daybed/love seat I used items from around the house, items on their way to the op shop themselves.
For the seat I simply folded an old doona
(duvet) cover around an old air mattress. Then added coordinating cushions, these were hidden in the linen cupboard from when I went through a green and brown stage in my loungeroom.
Enjoyed the project?
