Our first furniture redo

Yesterday i noticed that by our dumpster area there was a mattress. I asked my husband if he would run over there and see if there was a bed frame to go with it. He found a twin sized bed frame, took it apart and brought it home.

I thought of him cutting it down and making a toddler bed frame for our little girl who is going to need one soon, but instead he wanted to make a bench out of it, which of course is a lot more creative then my idea.

He got to working on it right away until he got rained out. Since this was our first redo we had a lot of altering from out original plan, and ended up with a lot more scrap wood then we might have if we knew exactly what we were going to do.

But i like what we ended up with. This is the bench before i painted it:

What do you all think? I might end up making a padding for it, but then again i like the way it is as well.
