I think Jay's comments are right on. I went to my thrift store found two nice candidates but the one didn't have a foot board and the other foot board  was too short.  I'm think about the one foot board buying 6" legs and screwing them on the bottom.

Thank you all for the nice comments! This was a really fun project. Gary, I did cut the foot board in half. In retrospect, I wish I would have cut a few more inches off each side to make the bench a less deep. I'm going to have to put some pillows on it to make it a bit more comfortable to sit in.

Rachel, this is extra nice from the color to the design idea to the work you did to make this a special bench.  This a great idea and you have completed a worthwhile project that is sure to be a eye catcher from those whom see it.  Thanks you for sharing you project.

I have wanted to build this bench for a long time. I may have to make a trip to my thrift store tomorrow.

Looking for an ornate bed frame. Do you basically take the foot board and cut it in half ?

Nice job Rachel.
