I've never really had a headboard to speak of, unless it came attached to an Ikea platform bed, and I've always wanted one (especially since we got rid of the Ikea platform bed). Torn between the upholstered headboard and a salvaged one, I opted to go for the salvage type.
Ignore my basement.

| Oak doors, minus original hardware, pre final sanding. |
My mom told me she had 4 old solid oak doors that she found in an antique shop in Ocean City, NJ, and they had been collecting dust. Naturally, I took them and they sat in our basement, collecting dust. There were 2 doors (pictured) that I think came off a servant entrance or something like that, and 2 more doors half the size of these that I'm saving for another project. Undecided, obv. But they also all came with original hinges, screws and these kooky locks.
I'd been pinning ideas onto my pinterest for quite a while trying to decide what to do with them... then I stumbled over to
Infarrantly Creative, and this tutorial for her
Roadkill Rescue - Door Headboard. Total fate. I swear.
