As a child, I remember visiting the farms owner, Mrs. Bean, who lived only a few feet from our house. Such a sweet lady and like another grandmother to us. Years and years before, her and her husband ran this farm as they had done before tractors were invented! In her passing, my parents purchased her farm and a good chunk of land with it. The farm was always a great place to find an adventure! It also was one of mom's favorite spots for senior photos. What can I say, she was ahead of her time!
A few years ago, the barn in a big wind finally gave way and today lays in a pile. But I will never forget Jill and my adventures! And hope my nieces and nephew and my children will get to someday find the Bean farm full of adventures!
With this headboard, I will have a little piece of home in my own home here in the city!
After some cleaning and sanding the barnwood was ready to be made in to a piece of art! Here is a few pictures of the process from turning a barn into a headboard!
Don't hold your breath for the finish product photo... we are giving it a few days for the liquid nails to dry! We really don't like the idea of being woken up one night with a barnwood slab falling on our heads!
What a great story, can't wait to see the finished product!
