For years I have searched for the perfect old door to make into a headboard for my bed. I actually found the perfect one, but $450 seemed about $400 too high.
One day, while perusing my junk pile searching for my next project, I came upon 2 large, matching ornate picture frames. Having deemed them too large to install mirror, they had been banished to the "one day" section and forgotten. But inspiration struck and I thought....headboard !
The 2 frames were attached and wooden backing cut. Two foam squares were placed inside the opening of the frames and covered with vintage fabric. An old porch baluster was sliced in half to use as side pieces and a decorative header placed on top. The entire piece was painted to match and voila.......a custom headboard with a vintage French flair............you just can't buy this stuff !!!!
