This was our old headboard. It was time to get rid of those sea shells.
You may be wondering while I am showing you a closet door that I found as someone's trash. This is going to be our new headboard.
The first thing I did was remove all the hardware. Then I cut it down to size for a queen bed leaving about 3 inches on each side to hang out. I used a 1 x 6 x 8 for the top ledge and some old crown molding as a decorative trim.
This photo shows eveything attached. After that I sanded, primed and painted it white. I then sanded it again to give it a distressed look. Below is the finished product.
this blows my mind - getting rid of the electric blue walls was a huge improvement, but just changing out the headboard also really improves the space and makes it feel super unique. well done!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn was thrilled when there was just primer on the walls. Anything to be rid of the electric blue!
ReplyDeleteVery clever, love the bedspread too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The moulding really added some great detail, but the vintage door really gives the right amount of character. I'm keeping an eye out for a door for our youngest son's headboard.
ReplyDeleteYour headboard and bedding are gorgeous! Romantic too.

ReplyDeleteDeanne and Elizabeth, thank you for stopping by. Visitors - this is so exciting! For anyone interested, the bedding is from Target's Shabby Chic collection. It's a Queen Size Comforter in Heirloom White and is just shy of $100.
