My Mom found a bench at Hobby Lobby that she thought would look good on my porch, but when I went to my Hobby Lobby they didn't have it. I did find this one though.
I like it because it's simple and it has a very rugged feel, which is good because it is going to get rained on quite a bit. It would drive me nuts if I put something nice out and then it turned ugly...might as well put something ugly out and be happy when it stays ugly :)
When I came home and looked at my porch I started having seconds thoughts. The bench is pretty small compared to my porch.
Plus I started thinking I could make a bench like that to the size I wanted for 1/4 of the price. I'm thinking I'll call my Dad and ask him to come 'hang out' with me for the weekend :) What do you guys think? Should I just buy it and be done or put in the work and get more of what I want for less?
I'm probably feeling all handy because I FINALLY finished my guest bed headboard. I think I started this project 8 months ago. I kept losing interest, but I finally did it and it looks fantastic!!
This is what I started with...
After sanding, priming, blue base coat and then antiquing it brown (THANKS MOM) this is what I got. (it's not a very good picture, but I'm using it anyway because it makes the final product seem even more amazing)
Then I made a frame out of base boards and painted it...a few times due to complications.
I also made a frame for the back so I could hang the whole thing on the wall like a picture frame. I nailed the tin to it and then used liquid nails to glue the front pretty frame to the back hanging frame.
After all that work this is the finished product...
It looks a little small in the picture, but in the room it's HUGE and AMAZING! I'm glad Laurie talked me into, even if it has been the bane of Billy's existence for the past 8 months :)

I love the headboard. I might come in the night and steal it. That's how much I like it. I don't have a headboard because I'm not cool and crafty like you.
I have a Hobby Lobby by me. Now I feel like I should actually go check it out after seeing the sweet bench.
It is GORGEOUS! mAKES me want to get all crafty!
I say, if Dad can make the benches at half the price, and they will probably last longer and look better, Go For It! Plus, I was thinking one bench in each section of your entry - it looks like it would fit and be fabulous in the picture, but may be way overboard in real life. Good Luck! Can't wait to see the results.
WOW..that is one beautiful headboard. So creative. Loved meeting you at Blogapalooza!
About the bench, I would totally wait for Dad! And for the headboard....WOW, I love it!!! Now we just need to come over for a visit and sleep on that beautiful bed!
fabulous! love love the headboard. and it makes me want to craft my own.
rad bench. go with your gut. i'm a buy it because it's easier kinds of gal but if he'd make it for you in a timely manner for less moolah, well good plan there too. can't wait for pictures of that!
You did a great job on the headboard. It looks fantastic.

Hi, I came over from Andrea. The headboard is georgous and totally one-of-a-kind, which I love. Great blog! I will be checking in often for more great entries. Anna
Loving the headboard, I might have to come and visit...cool bench. I'm not crafty but I like the invite the dad over and make him do it!
I LOVE IT! It turned out so amazing. You really have so many incredible talents.
I also think you should go with your gut about the bench. There's something to be said about having it done.
It looks amazing! You should come on down to my neck of the woods and do some crafty stuff for my house, it sure needs it.
Lisa I likey!!!! I need a head board I might just have to give that a whirl. You are one talented gal.
Wow Lisa, you're holding out on me!! You are an incredible decorator!! I LOVE the head board, and would love to make one myself... could you help me??

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
