Creating furniture from re-purposed material


The Lovely Shane and I like to re-purpose material that we already have for projects that we do around the house. Our latest project of this type is a headboard for our bed. It may not be entirely obvious in the pictures here but, the head board is made from an old interior wooden door that we salvaged from a job that we were working on for a customer. The old door was removed from a rental house in a remodeling project.

We used some lumber scraps that we had in the shop to frame up the headboard and attach it to the bed frame. The door is trimmed with some scrap crown molding that we had left over from a job. The shelving on the top is made from scrap left over from an old shelving project.

The headboard ended up working very well with the somewhat nautical theme of our bedroom. I am thinking of also extending more shelving on each side of the headboard. We have limited storage space in our bedroom and this may be a good addition. I will keep you posted.

If you have a project that you would like us to help you with, please contact us. For projects like the one mentioned here, click here for a form to use in telling us about your needs.

We look forward to helping you soon!

Till next time
