After redecorating my bedroom, I decided it was time to reintroduce my cute white cottagey wood headboard. It had been on hiatus to support a previous round of redecoration. I looked in my shed, the garage, the storage loft thingy, and no headboard. How it went missing, I'm not quite sure—but now I have an excuse for a project. Yippee!
Ever a fan of attempting to make cool new things out of someone else's trash, I've been peeking in thrift stores here and there to find inspiration, to no avail. So I decided to visit of the coolest stores ever, The Salvage Studio, always a wonderful source of creative ideas. Somehow, I came away with these shutters that were lined up against the wall behind the store, as if grounded from showing their damp ugly faces on the showroom floor. Understandably.
Yeah, I do believe that might be mold on a couple of those.
But all lined up like this, they're the perfect width for my full size bed. I've just got some work ahead of me—dry them out, sand them, X14? And then what? Paint them? How should I attach them together? Slats pointed up or down? Oh, the options. Oh, the mildew.
