  • We just screwed the drawers to the wall...and the sign to the top drawer...easy as that.  Meant to be??
  • "Before"
  • "After"
  • The sign was made by my friend Joan, aka Signs of the Times.  She made it on a salvaged piece from an old chair.  Get it?  "Be Still"
  • A great place to display little "bits" of junk and re-purposed treasures I've made and collected.

A Unique Shelf...a couple of drawers and a sign...

I've had these old drawers hanging on the wall as a shelf for a few years now...but I think they got a "new life" when I added this cool sign that I purchased from my friend. Don't you??

  • An old horse gate found on someone's burn pile is now my headboard with hooks, changeable with every season. Fun!

  • An old grocer's sign became a whimsical wall element behind a daybed for a playroom. Coordinate bedding with the sign graphics and call it done.

How to create your own headboard... from junk!

I love to sway away from the norm for most things home. I just find it incredibly inspiring to find a nothing and make it into a something. ...»

So you've got to know the headboards I use in my own home must be rather unique, right? :) The following pictures are found objects I've used to make headboards for my own home. It's a pretty neat feeling knowing I can knock off my own kind of furniture with a few good finds and a little creativity.

How to do it on a budget:

Just look for one big thing or a collection of small elements that will work with the size bed you have. Mount them, snoop around the thrift stores for pillow cases and quilts, decorate, and enjoy your new look for very little cost.

What do you think? Crazy or cool? Do you have an unusual headboard?

(Visit each picture for the direct link to that project.)
