my new headboard

[Aisling]

well, fairly new, anyway...I've been meaning to post a pic for a while. I got the old shutters from thrift for $6, hosed them down and painted them, and voila! They're a wee bit distressed, too. I think it'll be a fun effect once I get some breezy curtains and throw pillows in there. :O

This pic doesn't really do it justice...in natural, light, it's pretty with the brown walls.

Cute. I love your bedding and your bed set up. It looks so clean.

:rockon That turned out great! We have some old shutters like that, just a bit longer and we are trying to figure out what to do with them in our oldest dd's room. She has a beach theme....head board is not an option because she has a loft bed.

Fun! I'd love to see it when you get the other elements added in. :heart

Pretty! :heart I've been trying to find something I can turn into a headboard.

I have a upcycled wall candelabra that was originally an ugly outdoor bronze abomination...I pulled out the wires and plastic candles (and pollen and dust and bugs :shifty), wiped it down, reglued the little candle plates on with epoxy (minus the candle cups), and spray painted it a glossy green. (my splash of color). It now holds tealights...it's just out of the picture, by the window.

My mom's bringing me a pressboard bedside table that I'm going to make a table cloth on, and some unique lamp, which will soften the headboard effect, I think.

I'm all about repurposing junk, doncha know. :shifty:O Can't be normal. :P~

I love to repurpose things. And normal is definitely overrated.;):giggle

Love it! I can't wait to see when you add the curtains. Those are great ideas for repurposing.
