I remember the day well. When renovations were done on my home, I desired this really expensive headboard from a high end furniture store. Every week I visited 'my headboard' when in town and I may or may not have been caught ON the bed, pretending to try it out the mattress. I just needed to be near it.

The headboard never came. Price wise, I just could not swing it. So instead, I found an old sign behind the local gas station and asked if I could have it.



The disease to repurpose caught. I couldn't stop at just one unique solution...



.... so I got even braver. The old gate and door came from a burn pile.

Changing my mind yet again...

.... the horsegate went up! It's now been.. oh... a few months. I'm still good... for now. :)

I've also played in my son's room. This simple wall treatment required little else than clouds painted on plywood and hanging star lights from Ikea... before we ripped it apart. Young boys grow into older boys so we're busy working on something creative as I type. Coming soon!

It's my belief that nearly anything that can be attached to a wall can indeed become a headboard. Have you been as brave as I? I can't wait to see. :)

Please share your own unique headboards you have in a bedroom
in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

  21. It's hot and this girl needs some cold drinks. Thank goodness for Sweet Iced Coffee (#116-recipes section ). This is a simple recipe, but one people may not think about using Stevia. Have a good morning and thanks for hosting the party again!

  22. Donna I used to have a very long narrow 10 pane window over my bed that I put pictures in. I got tired of it and bought a real headboard, I hate it. That was
    a very bad decision. I love your sign headboard, very creative.
