Recently we purchased a home that had a neglected garden. In the garden was a bench. I loved the cast iron features, but the bench was literally rotting a way. The slats had actually pulled away from the ends and would collapse if anyone sat on it. Given the price of decorative pieces and the fact I love iron of any kind, the back has been repurposed in our daughter's college bookcase. (We also saved the legs for another project!)

| This poor bench was once a beauty I am sure. |

The back is repurposed as a decorative element on the bookcase.
It was quite heavy - we made sure it was secure. |
Quick and easy. Just dismantle and reuse. We even loved the patina!
See you next Wednesday!
