Our Headboard

When I first proposed the idea of using doors as a headboard, my husband looked at me like I had two heads. But I knew the look that I was going for, and I knew that he would like it once it was done. We were newlyweds, and had just started to purchase furniture for our home. Once I explained it to him in a little more detail, he agreed to the idea. It was our first home "project."

He went to a local hardware store and purchased three doors (the width of the three doors combined was a bit more then the width of our bed.) We gave them two coats of blue-gray paint.

We bought over-the-door hooks for each door and hung matted pictures of sailboats from each one. (I made these picture frames the same way I did my hanging letters.)

We simply propped them against the wall, and have had them ever since!
