So I found a great old 6 panel door at a restore! I wanted to do something cool with it and, just so happened I needed a headboard. My outside walls were really cold. So I turned this great old door into a headboard.
I had to strip the paint (NOT a fun process). It's really hard to find a door that is not painted (and probably with lead paint which I don't want right next to my head). So poured the harsh chemical strippers all over it and scraped away.
It has lots of bumps, scrapes and scratches, which I like. Makes it rustic.
I added some trim from the local big box store to cover the doorknob holes. I carved out grooves in 4x4s an fit the headboard right in. Crowned the 4x4s with finials.
Even my dog loves it!
