up cycle yellow bench made from a headboard, outdoor furniture, repurposing upcycling

To start I used a metal double size headboard from when I was I kid for the back of the bench.

I then found some banister spindles for the legs and cut them to the required height.

Then I built the frame of the bench seat and attached the five legs in the locations shown with the green arrows.

I then place three deck boards on top of the seat frame and then attached the bed frame to the wood using u bolts. Next I painted the wood yellow using chalk paint and added three layers of clear coat for outdoor use to the painted wood.

Then I painted the metal frame with yellow chalk paint to match the wood.

That is it simple and beautiful. Make sure to check out my blog for other up-cycle ideas.
