Bench made from antique day bed

I got this antique daybed from a friend that was just going to throw it away. I loved the curves of it and had to have it. I used it for my daughters room for a while but thought it would make a great bench for my kitchen table. It took me about 3 years to finally do it but I finally got it done!

I measured how deep I wanted the bench and cut the sides of the daybed with a jig saw to that depth. My hub helped me make a base for the seat. We then used big bolts to put it all together. It was a little tricky to put it all back together and it's definitely not perfect but I really like how it turned out.
