Head board and More

My daughter has been looking for an iron headboard for about a year now. They can be quite costly so we have been looking for one at the local consignment/antique stores . Never fear, my father found one . His neighbor had put this one out for garbage pick up. It also comes with a foot board . The price could not be better, it was free. My daughter wants to paint it a brighter color. I think it would look nice red or maybe mustard yellow. It will go nicely with the dresser and mirror she bought last weekend. Since I was ay my parents to look at the head board, I want to share a picture of something my father built in his back yard. It is an out house, that he is using as a shed. I can not believe I am sharing this, but I think he did a nice job with it. He has been retired for about ten years now and keeps busy building all sorts of things. He has built a lot of furniture over the years and too many lamps to count.

This is the handle to the out house door. He made it himself out of a piece of sheet metal and then sprayed it flat black. I have no idea how he does all this, but I do know he has all the right tools. We shake our heads a lot, I mean a lot at his ideas. But if he is happy, who are we to judge? He likes to work with wood, concrete and metal. I am sure I will share more of his work in future posts.
