My Headboard that I made from doors
I purchased a brand new , 6 panel door for $25 , a reg.
bi-fold door from a roadside sale, for $5 and I found a
more narrow, bi-fold door near the dumpster at the apts.
I live in; it had 1 hole where the doorknob was ripped out. I unscrewed 1 door on each bi-fold set and swapped 1 door from each set, so that it would be symetrical. I mixed some paints but, never could achieve the right color . Here is the result.
I bought some paint at Lowe's , called Robin's Egg and repainted the doors. It took 2 coats.
I had begun to paint the larger bi-fold door that you see in the left side of the pic .

Here is a close up. |

You can see the contrast of the bird and the doors .
The bird was the original color.
I added a carved , wooden overlay to the center door.
Then, I added a small overlay to cover the hole and1 on the
opposite side , to make it symetrical.
I absolutely love this color. It is so soothing and calming.
I am painting the overlays, cream color.
When I am done, I will post a pic of the headboard
with the French Duvet Cover that I have in the
first pic.
If you can't afford to buy something in the stores,
try to make it yourself. It is so rewarding. |
