DIY Outdoor Day Bed Reveal!!

 Just after New Year I mentioned our half-finished day bed. A project we got started on, along with a few others, while the energy levels were high!!


We're so excited to have it finished!!!


I know, I know...stripes. Again.
I've shocked you haven't I?


We just love it!! It's so comfy, you instantly relax when you lie on it!
I think it's fair to say we're quite proud of ourselves!!





Remember this guy?!
Monkey magic...'ah Pigsy' & Tripitaka!! Can't remember the other guy's name.
Tony found this cushion while we were on holidays and had to have it! First time he's ever bought homewares!!:)




I have also done a tutorial on how we built and upholstered this, coming tomorrow in 2 parts.

Part One - The build
Part Two - The upholstery (psst...it's removable!!)



So there you have it! Awkward corner on the deck...resolved.
Come back tomorrow and see how we did it, could you use a day bed at your place?

I highly recommend them!!


*Our daybed has been featured a bit around the blogoshphere, so HUGE thanks to the following awesome blogs!!!

  10. I'm ready for warm weather so I can enjoy something like this. You put it together so wonderfully! This project would be perfect for our new linky party featuring "Transformations" called Repurpose-Remodel-Reveal, I know our readers would love to see it too! (It starts Friday, March 2nd 2012 at 7:00 am MST and reoccures every 1st and 3rd Friday)
