I am thinking about using one of my iron beds as a flower bed but am not sure. Has anyone here made a flower bed out of a real bed? I've seen some and they are adorable. I guess I could just put the bed together and see what it would look like in the yard.
Please post pictures if you have any, Thanks! |

I have one but its dark out right now. I'll take a pic and post it in the morning. Of course , the plants have not really come out of dormancy yet so it wont look as good as it does in the summer.

| I had one at the house we sold a couple years ago. I used a headboard and footboard. My husband attached them to a wooden bed sized box. Then I painted flowers 'flower bed' on one of the boards. I probably have a photo somewhere, but not sure if I can find it. |

I don't have a flower bed myself, but here are some shots taken of my friend's. This was originally an iron baby crib that they took apart and used as a headboard and footboard. The last picture is obviously later in the season.

I love these beds!
We made one last year using an old headboard and
footboard and the bed was old concrete blocks.

Kathy,
That is a fountain in a mirror. I think that is so cool. Not sure how they did it but looks like someone could figure it out here(-: Tulipfarmer,
Your bed is beautiful! What does the sign say? CiNdEeS' GaRdEn |

| Please just be sure that it's "junk" - I was given an old iron bed (rusty and gross) that I wire-brushed and painted. It's in my daughter's room, and a friend recently told me it was worth at least $700. But those beds are GORGEOUS! |

| kterlep, is your iron bed really heavy? I wouldn't put one like that in the yard either. I have 2 lightweight iron beds, maybe metal that aren't worth anything. |

| You know what I have been seeing in magazines? Raised beds made to look like a bed planted with grass. They are made to be used as an outdoor bed to lie on! I can't find a picture on the internet to show as an example but they seem very cool. |

| OMG! I LOVE that wooden flower bed! I WANT one! It's just so full and luscious! I LOVE the metal beds too, but I'm really drawn to the wooden! |

| Cindee, that pic is AWESOME!!! And I love your blog... haven't read it all and will when I have more time. I have a wooden bed I found on trash day in the garage that I was going to use for another bed bench but after seeing that pic may use it for a flower bed instead. |
