Repurposed Headboard Bench | Farmhouse Style

Today, I am going to show you how I made a DIY farmhouse pulley and hanging bucket planter for my porch. It isn’t quite warm enough here in Michigan for real flowers to be out on my porch, so I wanted to come up with something to fill the space.

As part of a monthly blogger's challenge, I built this DIY Planter Box Bench Seat for my back yard. The challenge for this month was to build a project out of mostly 2x4 boards. Other than the lattice, I used 2x4 redwood boards for the entire project. Redwood is a little pricier than using any of the white wood boards, such as pine or Douglas Fir, but it holds up better in outdoor conditions. (Plus, if you have a wood planer, you can buy the construction grade redwood boards for much cheaper, and after running them through the planer they come out looking like the more expensive redwood boards).

This past weekend I was able to do a little hocus pocus and turned an old, dilapidated iron bench and table thingy into a pretty magical chair and ottoman. This set was generously given to me by a good friend. (Thank you, Kirk!)

If you follow my blog you will know I have two new Jack Russell terrors, and yes I mean terrors, not terriers. They are the most destructive dogs I have ever had but we love them anyway. This repurposed futon was the result of another one of their destructive moments.

I love to make old items in to new things! In my city, they have bulk trash once a month so you can grab any items from the curb that's being thrown out. Well, my neighbor set this headboard out so I thought what a great way to try to make a bench for free! I didn’t want to do something too hard so I think this works and you don’t need many tools at all

We are moving right along in the back yard working on our spa area, just finished the pony wall but needed something to hang our beach towels and personal item to put on. We have chairs but many times they are wet from afternoon showers. So I went to my garage and started looking around for some supplies. I had a small wooden spool that holds wire and a short leftover 4 x4 so i came up with and idea.

If you have a table that is bare or needs a makeover, try this painted faux wood-grain effect. It's a simple project, but the outcome is breathtaking. Here are the simple steps on how to complete this project.

I built a large cinder block planter wall several years ago and since then, cinder block benches have been on my radar.

I love creating flowers for my garden by repurposing things. It's fun to have little surprises tucked away here and there.

Making fun things for the garden is one of my favourite things to so so I decided to create some repurposed garden flowers using thrifted strainer steamers.
