Chuckee Notelling on Nov 01, 2016If you removed 2 out of every three slats, and turned it end wise, It could be fastened to a wall (braced so that there is a space behind it,) for an awesome towel bar.Or a magazine rack if you like that sort of thing. As individual pieces of wood there are many possibilities, The top would make a nice shelf under a window for example.Helpful Reply

Deborah Anthony on Nov 01, 2016That is nice, if keeping it as a headboard, get some material you really like to cut 2 inch wide "ribbon" and thread it through top and under, then the next row under and top, weaving it, then do decor around it to match, I dunno, just thought,Helpful Reply

Lonnie on Nov 01, 2016Depending on the size...If you took the shelf off the top and the legs off the bottom (assuming it's on legs) and then split it in half where that wider slat is, in the middle - you end up with 2 vertical or 2 horizontal slatted "shutters" to dress up an outside window or garage wall window or throw some legs on them and you have side tables for the lawn chair or as fire pit seats. I had fun concocting something up for you. LOLHelpful Reply

Bordersboy on Nov 03, 2016I think I would build a simple u-shaped frame from furring and glue and screw it to the back. Then cut straight across the bottom of the headboard , removing the bottom framed edge and mount it to the ceiling for hanging stemware. I think I would paint it white high gloss though. I looked and looked at that and just keep seeing a stemware rack.Helpful Reply
