Dumpster Diving for a Headboard
Yup, that’s right. I went “dumpster diving” for a new guest room headboard. Well that’s sort of a lie… At our complex we have a semi-enclosure around the dumpsters & people place furniture they no longer want next to the trash, but inside this area. I’m assuming the logic is, either someone will take it, or the garbage truck will pick it up. Long story short, Andy calls this “Donating to the Universe”. The Universal Donation Center has been very good to us over the last year of living here, but this has to be our best find yet!
AFTER: The Guest Room finally feels finished with the addition of our dumpster find headboard.
BEFORE
Look at the richness of the wood. Can you believe someone would put this out with the trash?
It's a little beat up, but that just gives it character, right?

Love the warmth that only wood can give. Glad you didn't just give it a coat of Annie Sloan or such.
