My Camp Get Away From Repurpose Wood

by Teri

2 Materials

It all started from using two pieces of wood that I saved from a taking down a large aviary.I have my own little scrap wood pile that I keep for myself just in case I might need a piece. My husband had to help me put this together because it is quite heavy.

Here are the two used pieces of wood that set off my idea what to do with them. I hauled these home from a garlic farm many years ago to use in building a aviary for my birds. When my husband made me a new animal cage...once again these were put back on my wood pile.

I started digging through my scrap wood and nailing it all together. The top is actually from a futon bed. I picked it up at a garage sale for $5 and thought it would make a great bridge for my creek. Well that didn't happen fast enough, so now it's a roof.

After getting it all together I grabbed a lace curtain and some spray paint. Put the lace down on top of the wood and sprayed it.

I found a pretty dish that has roses on it and thought that would add a special touch.

Now it's ready to be hauled down the hill to my other Happy Place.

The creek runs behind here and I have made trails that wonder off into the woods. It is my peaceful statuary.

You do have to watch out for the bears.

Does the swing come off the ground when you swing, or is the sides anchored.
