Ladder Turned Headboard

Here’s another simple DIY project that’s absolutely perfect for beginners, and takes even less time than the shutter project. But, even though it takes less time, it still results in a beautiful, and unique, headboard. It even has the added bonus that it can double as storage for your blankets and throws, if you ever want to change it out.

Check out your shed or garage for an old ladder that’s no longer being used. or head out to the thrift store or antique mall. Just like the shutters, you can sand, paint, and distress them, or simply leave them as-is. Don’t forget to add some personal nick-nacks like photos, small books, and treasures to really personalize your new headboard.
