Headboard from Old Closet Doors

“One of the perks of being in a construction-related business is that you can claim any discards from job-sites that might be re-purposed,” Marty tells us at Marty’s Musings. That’s exactly how this old set of shutter-like closet doors came into her possession. Marty has a great imagination. When she looked at the doors, she could see a headboard!

To take these doors from the closet to the bed, Marty started by cutting the doors in half across the center brace. She layered several shades of gray and white paint over the cut doors, to achieve just the shabby chic look of weathered paint that she had in mind. She placed the two halves side by side against the wall behind her bed to create a headboard. I love the look of this headboard and the way Marty styled it!
