I have no idea why I have such an addiction to old headboards, but I do. I don’t have a booth anywhere, so I have no place to sell them, but I just keep bringing them home with me.
I currently have 12 of them in my workshop and had to come up with some projects to create from them, so my husband won’t complain about my addiction.
This one does double-duty as a chalkboard!

There are 3-stem coat hooks on each side and a drawer pull in the center to hold the chalk.

Now, I’m addicted to creating these and love how it turned out, so I made a bunch of them!
This one is an antique headboard.

I added metal medallions from another old bed. The hole to mount the coat rack is under each medallion. I left the original little metal wheels on it.

If so, what have you done with yours?
All of your headboards are amazing and so creative! You have such a knack for seeing potential. Have a lovely day! ~ Jamie
What a great way to reuse such beautiful pieces of wood and I love the little details you add to each one! ~ Maureen
These look fabulous!!! what a clever idea!
I know I have already commented but I picked up a headboard at the dump the other day so I can make one of these!
They are all great, Angie. I have a few in the back of my workshop which I haven’t done anything with yet. A couple weeks ago I found another headboard and footboard for $10/set. I brought them home and leaned them against the front shop wall and my husband saw it and said “Don’t you already have some of those?”
i love them all!! i will now be on the hunt- you have opened my eyes!! and i loved your details with the drawer pulls to hold the chalk- that is a great idea!!
I am extremely worried I could catch your affliction. OHHHH you said addiction. I’m still worried.

I love them all!!!! But I’m sure that are difficult to ship. lol

Wow Angie!!! You make me wish I lived closer to you… want one! What a great eye you have for seeing potential in the most common of objects. Love them all!
They’re gorgeous Angie. Now I want one. Or two… LOL
Great ideas–love the headboards!
These are great Angie, I have a really cool one I’d like to do too but it’s so thick (deep)that I can’t figure out how I’d be able to hang it without halving it somehow. Did you trim down the one with the clock?
Those are all beautiful, such a creative use for them. I have been looking for an old bed to make a bench, and I can’t find even one! Love all of yours.
Me encantó, super idea, te sigo.
Hey Angie,
I am a fairly new reader.. love your blog. I am an interior designer, but also have a Vintage shop.
Sometimes you can ship larger things, Believe it or not on fairly reasonable on Greyhound Bus Lines. I think the length limit is 84″.
I shipped a small headboard awhile back with no problem. Maybe it would help you ?
Customers are usually willing to drive to the nearest station to save some $$

Angie – These are just precious. Love the one with the clock design on it. Really ingenuous!! Must find me a headboard like that. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love them all, Angie! I have a “thing” for old beds too. Hopefully I’ll have some fun projects to share soon.
I love those same drawer pulls too Angie, use them all the time.
Wow…these are all wonderful!
What a lot of work and imagination you put into these! Beautiful job, so creative!
Debbie 🙂
Beautiful, Beautiful!! I haven’t seen anything like this before, but I could see one of these in our house for sure! Love them all!
PS: Stopped by from Too Much Time on My Hands…I linked up right beside you 😉 So happy I didn’t miss seeing this!
These are wonderful. Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity. ~Amanda
Thanks for sharing the great ideas. I’m always on the look out for great headboards, but I always find the whole bed and don’t have the heart to break them up.
these are soooooooo beautiful!
Love all your headboard/chalkboard creations, Angie.
Love the shapes of those!
So nice of you to join me Angie. I love every single one of these headboards. thanks for sharing.
These are lovely and oh so creative! LOL would NEVER have noticed that thermostat and then I had to go looking for it 🙂
What a wonderful addiction to be afflicted with. Your head- and footboard repurposings are out of this world. I’d love to have any one of them. Can’t wait to share this post on my Once Upon a Firefly FB page! I might pin a bit, too. Heehee.
I think you have a great vision for old headboards! What you do with them is amazing! Stopping by from Debbiedoos!
These are fabulous! I love what you’ve done with all these headboards. They’re just great!

Wowzers…..You are so very creative! You have taken something that is often discarded and turned it into a work of art. Each headboard is unique with it’s very own design.
Love…love…love your post!
Blessings,
Carolynn xo
Angie, I LOVE the last one, and the one with the clock… that was a pretty ugly piece before you got your hands on it!

Angie, the one hanging on your wall above the thermostat is just screaming for one of your banners going from post to post. These are just to cool!

Dislike that thermostat? Move your coat rack up or over and put a pretty basket over the thermostat.
What cute projects! Thanks for sharing at the Open House party.

Curious to know what you use on the back of them for hanging because they can be heavy.
I love what you’re doing with the bed parts!! So beautiful!! I understand about addictions…mine is picture frames. 🙂
