Looking for the perfect headboard to finish off your farmhouse or coastal look? Thank you for finding me! Here is some info about these Reclaimed wood headboards. These headboards are made to hang on the wall with a very easy system that requires only two screws on your end. Panels can range in size but the standard headboard is approximately 40 inches tall. You can specify your height, I can do custom! (If you want all grey, pops of white or a custom color popped in we can work together to give you the look you want.) I cannot make your headboard EXACTLY like one shown. I can try to get close but each piece is unique and the wood supply always changing. Please contact me before purchase if you need a custom listing as height and other options change the price.

It's been a little while since I've been able to share a good "Before and After" with you guys. And let me tell you, this is a good one! I had such a good time working on it and am super excited to share it! Back in the fall, I was driving my son to school one day and got a little turned around. We were new in town and I wasn't sure of the best way to go to get to the school. As I was winding my way through a neighborhood, I spied a pile of furniture next to the curb. Of course I had to slow down to get a look at what was being tossed out, and my heart practically leaped out of my chest when I spotted this beauty among the cast offs. I quickly took my son to school and hurried back to get a closer look. Upon closer inspection I found that both front legs were broken, pieces of trim were missing from the bottom drawer, the piece that extends between the front legs was broken (but had been somewhat repaired), and while it had a mirror stand, the mirror was missing. Generally, it was in pretty sad shape. In spite of all its flaws and needed repairs, I could not believe my luck! I couldn't fit the whole thing into the back of my car all at once, so I decided to bring the drawers home first then go back and get the rest, all the while practically hyperventilating with excitement and anxiety that somebody would snag it while I was gone. Luckily it was only a few blocks from my house. Once safely in my garage, there it sat for a few months. Finally, sick of the precious space it was hogging, my husband encouraged me to tackle it. I repaired the things that needed it, then got to work on the fun stuff! I started by sanding down the top and restaining it a nice medium tone. The body and drawers got painted with a custom mixed bluish grey and I highlighted some of the details with crisp white. A light distressing brought out its lovely details even more. While I couldn't replace the missing trim pieces on the bottom drawer, I decided that filling in those gaps with white paint would help camouflage them a bit. Unless you look closely, you don't really notice that it's just paint there. Decorating the top was a fun little adventure, too! I love shopping the house to see how I can pull things together. I'm still trying to decide if it's really "done" at this point. The top needs to be sealed somehow, and I'd intended to use a dark brown glaze on it but haven't brought myself to apply it. I really like it the way it is, but I also like the effect that glaze has on a piece. It gives it more depth. What do you think? Glaze or no glaze? Maybe I'll live with it for a while and see if the fancy strikes to glaze it later. Meanwhile, I LOVE my rescued antique dresser!
