I'm not always good at getting the before pictures...I'm always anxious to get painting or renovating the piece that I forger to take a picture...well, not so this time.
So, HERE WE GO!!!
Remember this bench from a previous post? This was the foot board of an old 1800's bed and it sold as we were carrying it into the booth...I just love it when that happens.
Well,this is the head board of that same bed...it is pretty tall and quite heavy.
This is the finished product, I painted it white and added a little bit of age to it but not as much as I did with the foot board. We added four iron hooks and some filigree to the top and bottom...
Just a few close ups so you can see the different aspects of the head board and a few suggestions as to how to decorate around it.
I added a gentleman's top hat..and an umbrella to one side...
a ladies straw hat on the other side and...
on the seat a pair of high top ladies shoes, these are from the 1800's also and if you look closely you can see a pair of ladies gloves laying on the seat next to the shoes.
This was a fun piece to do...hope it sells as quickly as the other one.
Well, thats all for now..
So, till next time..
From my porch to yours...
Have a blessed week
