How can I make a bed out of an old sofa?
My daughter has a beautiful sofathat belonged to her father-in-law. She would like to make it over into a headboard for her bed. She wants to leave the arms and back but needs to stabilize the frame. Also she wants to reupholster it. Any ideas?

Vicky...can you send a picture of the sofa with the cushions removed? This might help with ideas. Thanks!
What a clever idea! I think it would look gorgeous. You would need to have your bed frame/boards propped on the frame of the couch which would be located under the cushions of course. With that as your head board frame, lay boards length wise onto a 3 sided frame the same height. You would need to build or find a metal or wood frame the same height as the frame under the cushions. The 3 sides could rest on the couch frame also and be connected. Once you have your support boards, just ad your mattress. What a wonderful idea. I never would have thought of that!
