I had this bunk bed
I used the headboard and the bottom half of the foot board for the Naval bench.
I cut some scraps and used a router on them.
I attached the squares with a nail gun and some Gorilla Wood Glue.
I used some DIY Chalky paint as primer on the entire piece. You can see the headboard bench with storage shelf here in the background.
This sign is double-sided. One side is a chalkboard, a temporary sign for a wedding centerpiece . . .
. . . the other side is perfect for a vinyl saying, a more permanent reminder of the special day.
I think it would look great with ribbons and such, but you know I don’t have a knack for that. 
This was a fun and easy project using scraps from another project.

God Bless!
I just wanted to drop in and say that when one of my first pins was your island from a desk and it gets repinned all the time from my boards. I’ve got a 335 count on it, I hope they have visited you and saw all your awesome creations!
I knew it! You made something fabulous out of that footboard…. I want to hang out with you and learn from you 🙂
Great idea Gail! I love how one side is vinyl and the other a chalkboard, You could use it for a ton of different things!
great thing to make out of the foot board!!! very versatile!
I wondered what you’d do with the top of that headboard…I should have known it would be awesome! What a great idea to have the two different sides for different purposes. You are so clever!
Very nice..!!
That is really neat!
I like this idea–very cool! We just used one of our headboards from the furniture factory to make a bench…it’s on the blog today!
I have one of these in the basement of our shop…looks like I know what project we will be doing next. Thanks for sharing!
Great sign! 🙂
