Door Turned Headboard

If you’re renovating your house, then you will probably have a lot of things lying around that you might want to toss. You might even have a spare door or two. Don’t put them out in the street for the garbage collectors just yet. With a little bit of time, and a coat of paint, you could give that unwanted door a whole new life as a perfectly shabby-chic headboard.

Paint it out in colors that complement your bedroom. You can even add some stenciled designs, and a strip of crown molding to the top edge, and presto. A cheap—maybe even free—headboard, worthy of your favorite HGTV designers. For a more dramatic look, you can even stack two doors together, and put them up either vertically or horizontally to get a tall, stately looking headboard.
