The Debut

Its only been a couple weeks since I started this project.... and it's finally done!

The hall tree is a nice change for our entry. If you remember from a few posts back - I've had the door since last summer, and the vanity bench from year ago February.

I was really excited to make something with the old door, but couldn't figure out what. First I thought a headboard, then a table (no room for that though), next I thought I could just lean it up against the wall somewhere (but I don't have any extra wall space either), finally a light bulb went off in my head and I thought it would be cool to somehow put the bench and door together and make a hall tree.
I cut legs off a little old side table which I used to construct part of the arm rests. Hubby then cut the scrap wood we had just laying around for the top part of the arms. I painted it all white, added hooks, covered the bench with a cute pink rosebud quilt remnant, added a pink tulle skirt, and hung a fabulous vintage scallop edged mirror. I love it!
Hubby is happy too since these two things really did become something, and they're not in the garage anymore!
