This is so fantastic, and unbelievably, I am pretty sure I have all those spare parts here too! Maybe I can make some Frankenfurniture this weekend!

Well, now I can see why you posted on FB that you were having some frustrations with this project! Your patience and perseverance definitely paid off though! It is fabulous!

completely wonderful!

I must say this-- and I know you'll be painting it; BUT... I think some stain on the seat and an all over sealer would be so sweet on this piece with all it's bits and pieces different shades of wood!

I'm sure when you're finished with it -- the end product will be absolutely gorgeous.
it was just a thought.

What a great way to repurpose old cribs (and beds and a chair)! Looking forward to seeing the painted bench.

This bench is truly a work of art- graceful and sturdy at the same time! Is the hard part figuring out what color to paint it? You put things together effortlessly. I’d want a whole handful of these just so I could paint them in different colors to see the effect! You are a wonder and I’m jealous!

I am always in awe on how you can pull those random pieces together and make them into something so spectacular. The curved part of the arm rests was genius on your part, can’t wait to see it all prettified.
