I found this antique headboard at a yard sale for $5. I love the shape of it and the lovely, original applique. I sanded it down, patched a hairline crack and painted it with the same technique that I used on this coffee table.

It was a perfect find since my antique, iron bed is in storage because the slanted ceiling in my bedroom slants too low for the canopy top. My antique bed is actually my favorite piece of furniture and I am saving it in my storage unit until I have a house that it fits in again. Here is a picture of my iron bed in my old house. Looking at this picture makes me miss my spacious house, especially now that I am living in a tiny cabin.
So...in the mean time, I have this new headboard to dress up my plain bed frame.
I love the old, wooden applique of roses in an urn.
Ok, so I figured out, after I got home, that my headboard is actually a footboard. Oh well, I am not so good with logistics - headboard... footboard... what's the difference? Well, it turns out it is too short to be a headboard, so I bought these legs at Home Depot for a few dollars and Mr. Rubbish is going to figure out a way to attach the headboard to our bed frame.
At least it looks pretty and hopefully it will be functional too!

You are so funny...headboard...footboard....cracks me up. I'm sure hubby will fix it and it will be perfect. There are NEVER mistakes only new avenues to take that you hadn't thought of before.

Just love this, I am looking for a headboard and it really takes time to find just the right look.
I once purchase a "headboard" at a yard sale for $7 and got it home and figured out it was a piece of a crib! Your's is beautiful and so is your site. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Just a thought-why not hang it on the wall and push your bed close to it rather than bother with legs? Turned out beautifully!!!
Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking

They committed two Friday one on left-fielder Alfonso Soriano's off-target throw to the plate on the game-winning run in the seventh. The other error was charged to catcher Welington Castillo when he collided with first baseman Anthony Rizzo and the [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Mets-5-David-Wright-Road-Cool-Base-Grey-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-76/]Mets 5 David Wright Road Cool Base Grey 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] foul ball fell to the ground in the ninth.
"I have to make a perfect throw to make that guy out," Soriano said of his miscue. "You know, the grass in the outfield is very thick. So all of those balls are like slow to the outfield."
For starters: The Cubs [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Brewers-8-Ryan-Braun-Road-Cool-Base-Grey-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-77/]Brewers 8 Ryan Braun Road Cool Base Grey 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] are 2-7 in Edwin Jackson's starts (1-6, 5.76 ERA). On Friday he went a season-high 62/3 innings, allowing three runs. He struck out four and walked one.
"Out of those games I have losses, I don't know, probably three are just wash-away games," Jackson said.
Extra innings: The Cubs have lost 12 games in which they have led at some point this season. That is tied for the most in the National League with the Diamondbacks. The Cubs went 2-for-3 with runners in scoring position Friday and are hitting .356 (23-for-59) in that category in the last six games. Starlin Castro extended his hitting streak to seven games.
