Recycled Headboards: A Beds Best Friend:

From old wooden barn doors to recycled shutters and from picket fences to picture frames, headboards can be made out of just about anything. So why go to a fancy furniture store and buy a high priced headboard, when you can make or design your own! The pictures above are examples of some of the creative and interesting materials used to make headboards. These items can easily be found on Craigslist or your local reclaimed wood dealer. Let your imagination run wild! Go modern, go vintage, go shabby chic, go whatever your heart desires. There are no limits when it comes to giving character to the wall behind your bed, make a statment. I've seen designers use old wrought iron fencing with a fresh coat of paint and reclaimed wood doors attached to two decorative side posts. The pictures above are just for inspiration. I hope that recycling decor and headboards catches on, we can all do our part to turn trash to treasure!
