Vintage Iron Crib Turned Settee

Something that has been on my "want list" for a very, very long time, has been fulfilled!

Back in June, my friend Todd (Bountiful Home and Nursery) posted a picture here, of a vintage iron crib he had for sale in his shop.

I wasted no time hurrying down to Edmonds to snatch it up!
Today, I finished making the mattress cover, ruffle skirt, and pillow covers.

I've always dreamed of having a covered front porch where we could lounge around on warm summer days drinking iced tea, reading, or even taking a snooze on a vintage cast iron crib turned into a settee or daybed.

Well, since there are no covered front porches in my near future, I figured what the heck, we could still use an outdoor daybed anyways. We have a wonderful spot set aside in the garden where it will be nestled under some trees - a perfect place to daydream.

I am always on the lookout for photo and show props, so I think she'll make a great fixture for displaying my ruffle rose pillows too.

Thanks Todd, for posting a picture that day. I'm so happy with my purchase!
