Upcycling: from a cradle to a terrace sofa
For what some is a waste, for others it is a treasure. A clear example is this crib that had been thrown into a gutter. When I found it, it was full of small snails, but its pieces were in good condition.
After cleaning it up, I sanded it down and spray painted it a copper color. Next, I mounted the rear and the two sides. I also added a slat to the front to reinforce the structure.
It’s amazing what can be done with a little paint, right? For less than €30 you can have a sofa for the terrace recycling a crib and giving him a second chance. In this link you will find all the detailed step by step.

DIY furniture for terrace: a bar for the balcony
One of the main advantages when building your own furniture is that you can make it to measure so that it fits perfectly into your decoration. It is the case of this bar for the balcony or terrace that fits the size of my balcony window.
For me it is a small door to the outside. Since I don’t have a balcony, thanks to this bar I can enjoy the breeze while I work on the computer.
In addition, I have also found a second use for it as a gardener. She normally couldn’t put plants on the balcony because it’s so sunny and they would end up drying out. Now they are protected behind the back of the bar, so they receive light but without burning.

On the other hand, different finishes have been combined on the table top. Part of it has been decorated with metallic copper paint, matching the base. A marble effect vinyl has also been placed. The rest has been left with the natural tone of the wood.
This decoration provides a scandi style to this side table. In addition, all the materials used are weather resistant, so it will have a double utility depending on the time of year in which we find ourselves.
