American Honey Home: Outdoor Daybed

I have always wanted a screened in porch on my house. One day I will have one here, but until then, I have this outdoor daybed where I can day dream about it.

Cody built this daybed for me years ago using a queen size head and foot board. Click here to see what it looked like before I painted it. I put on a quick coat of white paint and it was instantly better.

Next, I free-handed some flowers on the back of the headboard using acrylic paints. I am by no means an artist but I think my flowers turned out pretty cute.

I also made a fun banner using some fabric in colors that match my flowers. I was waiting to find the perfect sheet to put on the feather bed I have on it and I finally found it at my favorite thrift store on Friday.

I hung some solar lights around the edge. It will make it extra pretty at night. I have also decided it needs some sort of a chandelier hanging down from the middle of the ceiling. I must figure out something for this soon!

My pink vintage TV tray is the perfect side table holding a lantern and a jar of silk peonies. You have to have somewhere to place your drink and your book!

Even though we still have at least 2 more months of hot summer weather left, I am already looking forward to the weather cooling off and taking advantage of my newly made over daybed!
