Sometimes things just go wrong...

Like this...
 from a distance not so bad...but when you take a closer look...not so good. Well, stuff like this happens and even though it is a little discouraging it is not the end of the world. So, switch gears and rev up the old paint roller and start on a new project. Will come back to this mess at a later date.
 New project...this bed frame is really,really old and if it were in pristine condition would be worth a lot of $$$, however it is not in great condition and a lot of the small pieces are missing and it is an odd size...3/4 is what they call it today. They do not make mattresses in this size, you can have them custom made and that too is a lot of $$$. So this is my plan..
 The foot board is going to be made into a child size bench...I've painted it white and distressed it just a tad...this kind of distressing is not distressing to me...

These two pictures are the before...
 and close ups of the detail on the foot board/bench back ...

Well that is as far as I can go right now, Tim has to enter the picture, so to speak, and perform his magic. I will post pictures of the finished project. Oh! by the way , the head board is also going to be turned into a bench and I will post pictures when that happens.


Well that's all for this time...

 So, from my porch to yours...

Have a blessed week.
