Door as Headboard
Martha Stewart Living

doorasheadboardMStoppic.jpgNow here's a great example of using your head(board). Who would have thought that a door could be spruced up in such a way to make this lovely little headboard for your child's room?

 
 

If you're lucky enough to score a great looking door at a garage sale, or recently purchased new doors for your home you can recycle that door into a snazzy headboard. The fine folks over at Martha Stewart recommend you add a strip of crown molding as a finish and a great place to add a final touch -- an alarm clock or a small vase, perhaps?

We love how the door is painted to match the room's bedding. A simple headboard becomes so much more! To read the entire instructions, visit Martha Stewart.com

My mother did this for her guest room at her summer house, it looked great. She said it was really easy to paint and install. I am considering doing the same for my son's room. Now I've just got to find a door.

I have one like this my husband built. Everyone who comes to my house comments on it and loves it. We also build and sell them locally.

That lamp would be perfect in my nursery - any ideas where it is from? Or ideas for where to find a relatively affordable teal lamp?
