after and before

SO...
this is how the free swing turned out!
My husband is amazing.
The cushions were thrift store finds.
We're hoping for warmer weather this weekend to give it a good workout!

  1. Your husband IS amazing! Looking at the finished piece I think it is what I call a "glider" - it actually sits on the ground, right? Really nice.

    1. Yes - it's much like a glider except it swings from chains attached to the frame. It DOES sit on the ground.

  2. It is awesome! What a transformation. I love how one can turn a "sow's ear into a silk purse"!
    Great job.

  3. I love it! I would love to find something similar here but I think those swing seats are an American thing, sadly! x
