COST: $36 total
- $15 for both headboard and footboard pieces
- $15 new pine boards (reclaimed would have been better, but I wanted this project FINISHED and my local home center did the cuts for free...just keeping it simple)
- $6 for 1 quart indoor/outdoor white paint

I'm still hoping to add a topper of sorts, for hanging storage, but in the meantime, I'll use it as is.
Beautiful already! Good job!
ReplyDeleteIt's so cute! Nice job. :)
ReplyDeleteI think a topper would be fun to make. You should go for it, although it looks really cool. You should come over to my blog and check out the upcycled links page and add your own.
