Old metal bed, a rarity Soviet times, the second life that can give

This article - the old honored metal beds. About their glorious past and the second life that can give them.

Many people, especially older people, remember well these beds. They are no different sophistication and elegance. But their backs so shining silver, and the only decoration - knobs or balls at the top of the bars - and so pushed to unscrew them to feel in the palms of pleasant heaviness. We pootkruchivali them and with the risk to get a scolding from her grandmother. You are a secret from adults jumping on a bed? Unforgettable feeling of flying!

What was covered with them! Bottom and back - lace valances handmade, white-starched. On valance smoothly as on a ticker, hanging pique bedspread. At the head of one another are plump pillows. And the uppermost standing pyramid, one area looks up sharply. And this "tower" of pillows covered with ruffles of lace nakidushkoy on the edge... simple and touching cozy rustic cottage.

It has long been zealous pioneers dragged most of these beds in a scrap. But not all. In every village you can still see the rusty back or even a massive frame with a tight armor-clad grid, leaning against the wall in the far corner of the site.

We have found in individual elements of these beds a sea of ​​utilities.

At frame sushim onion and garlic after harvest with a metal grid. Podstelenny banner below does not grow grass, it is poured garbage.

Of backs make excellent wicket. Some gardeners take advantage of our idea.

From a piece of armor-clad grid and polypropylene pipes we have made support for the plants.

Grid attached using strips cut from plastic bottles and warmed building hairdryer.

Planted a small Christmas tree protected from omnivorous-hungry goats back from the bed and the grid.

In the photo grid is down, so clearly visible. And here it raised:

At one time in our greenhouse, watering was dug with the help of hoses. For highly placed barrels of water made the construction of various metallic elements from the beds.

When the need for it has disappeared, it is based on organized swings for young grandchildren. All unnecessary parts removed, you need to add. All covered by rust primer.

I stitched seat cover.

I was surprised to find that the old nickel-plated bed sold on Avito!

And yes - metal beds are back in fashion.
