Why didn't I think of this sooner!?!

I use to have a water bed. When hubby & I bought our new bedroom set, the bed got stored in our UNFINISHED breeze way for like 5 yrs. Hubby is actually suppose to be going to finish this 'breeze way' over the winter and wantes me to start clear'n all the crap out of it... Look what I made out of the base of my old water bed! I LOVE IT! A fantastic ironing station WITH storage! I knew all that 50% off the clearance price home deco fabric I bought 2yrs ago was a good idea! I used a coordinating fabric to make a curtain for the stairwell closet (now all I need is shelves in there... work'n on it). It's so kewl to be converting the hallway in to an extension of it my sewing space! *giggles* I'm soooooooo excited about this! Now I need to figure out what to do w/the wall space... peg boards... shelf? What ever I do, I know it will be great!
One of these days my entire home will be nothing but sewing space lolololol |
Looks fantastic!
|
That is great! Is it two base pieces of the water bed frame stacked? Wonderful idea and it looks beautiful!
|
<-------- this person is very jealous lol....looks fantastic
|
What a wonderful idea. It looks great! Makes me wish I had a waterbed to make one for myself!!!! Awesome way to re-purpose! You are quite clever!

That is an ingenious and totally useful repurposing of the waterbed base. I can't believe all that storage space you now have.

I think I'm pretty much at over 60% converted to sewing space and necessary storage required space. |
Very smart! Looks great, good job!, i recently moved my bedroom into our smallest room so the master bedroom could house my longarm!
You have to set priorities! |
Love it! All that storage is so great. I have my ironing board (homemade, 28" X 52") set on top of a 2' X 4" folding table with a plastic shelving unit set up in 2 halves under it. I do have some boxes on the shelves, but your set-up is way better!
|
Nice ironing space. Looks great.
|
Well aren't you clever! Now everyone will want one and it will be mighty hard to find an old wooden waterbed base.:D
|
To all those non quilters...beware...we are taking over your space!!! LOL
|
thanks for sharing you fantastic idea
nice |
:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I LOVE re-purposing! Good for you, and enjoy it to the max.
|
What a great idea! I bet I could find a waterbed frame at an auction for almost nothing!
|
You aare so very clever. The paint job and new handles transform this into a very lovely and useful piece of furniture.
|
It looks great. What a brilliant idea.

That is just too pretty! The white looks so fresh and so much storage! How lucky for you!!!
|
OMG I love this idea!!!!! Great thinking!
|
Clever, clever girl! Love to see stuff being re-invented! What a good job!
|
thanks for the idea. Looks real good!
Years ago, when my younger DD was small I bought a twin bed that has storage under it. It would never be that tall since I have only one set of drawers, but I might us it and add shelving. Hubby wants it gone. |
Wow! What a great idea! We threw our old waterbed away several years ago. No one wanted it! Wish I had it back now!

I'll admit it....I'm jealous! Just jealous!
|
Love this idea! I still have a waterbed frame very similar, and never thought to use it stacked as a dresser! Ours is holding up the box spring and mattress for # 3 son. I could be using it in my sewing room. Hmmm... He may come home to his bed on the floor one day soon! Great job!!
|
What a fantastic idea! It looks nice and big, too.
|
That is a great ironing station and so much storage space. I am going to have to start looking at garage sales for old waterbeds. Unless they see what you did with yours they should be pretty cheap.
|
Wow - you did a fantastic job and so smart to make it happen!
|
Man, are you one smart little cookie, enjoy the wonderful ironing and storage space. May in Jersey
|
Way to recycle.
|
That looks a lot like the base from my sons's twin captain's beds. I used them the same way. Great minds......
|
Wish I had seen this before I through my away. What a great idea
|
Great idea!!!!
|
nicely done
|
Fantastic, great job, thanks for sharing
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
Way to cool! Job well done

What a great idea!!! You did good!
|

|
