TWIN BED COUCH PROGRESS

I got the back of the couch mounted to the wall and I must say it was fairly easy with the hooks that I bought. It's a good thing I used my imagination while at Home Depot because they sure didnt have what thought I needed. These are the hooks that I used:

MY TWIN BED COUCH

I have been working on this ALL day...It is not completely done because I couldnt hang the couch back since it's late...dont wanna upset the neighbors, lol...I think I will hang the couch back lower than what it's at now....now all I gotta do is cover the mattress and I'll be done with this project!

HOW I MADE MY COUCH BACK (PADDED HEADBOARD)

Pretty much what I did was laid out my material with my "cushioning" I didnt want to spend over $30 for the foam and batting needed so I just used an old comforter that I dont care about. I then pulled as tight as I could and stapled it with my staple gun. I started on one side, went to the other and then did the ends last. I plan to mount this on the wall with heavy duty picture hangers that hold up to 50 lbs each. (pictured below), they were about $3.50 all together at Home Depot.

GETTING STARTED ON MY "COUCH

I got started on some of the smaller stuff to transform my bed into a couch......here are some pics of my progress. Im using the wood to make a "couch back". I got the wood from Home Depot for $8 and they cut it to size for free!! I also got all the scrap pieces along with it..what to do with those, hmmm, maybe I'll make a headboard for my real bed in my bedroom....who knows but I'll be sure post it....I am tre excited to get this done!!!

BEFORE:

Terrible I know, LOL

PROGRESS SO FAR:

So far all I've done is put on the bedskirt that I made to cover the box spring and frame, but it already looks a little more "couchy" to me...WDYT?

WOOD FOR BACK OF "COUCH"

Im not sure the name of this wood, but I do know it is 3/8 inch

MY INSPIRATION

So I have a twin bed in my living room (instead of a couch) that the hubby refuses to get rid of....so I decided I would make it into a couch....here are some of my inspiration pics. I will keep you posted on my progress.
