That Swing we Made

So, we (I) got an old crib from a friend and decided to get Pinteresty. John was skeptical, so this is a combo build. Long story short, I wanted to turn a crib into a porch swing. So this is the crib with the front bit removed 

So now we need to drop the mattress and lower the side rails for armrests. We also built a support frame under it all

So we put the Mattress support at the lowest setting, shaved the arm rests, and made a base frame. 

Then I bought some outdoor pillows...

Then I put a neutral crib sheet on a used crib mattress for the seat... 

And then I painted the swing robins egg blue 

We added some swing hardware, and we have a wonderful new family-sized swing!
