An old door

 
I recently created this headboard out of an old door I found on the side of the road.  With my hubby's help, I glued a piece of  crown molding from Rona and then topped it with a piece of pine we had kicking around the shop. After giving this door a good sanding, I painted the whole piece with a coat of primer followed by a color called "Safari Expedition". Afterwards I sanded the edges and then antiqued it with a bit of Behr glaze from a friend. Ultimately, I was happy with the finished product and my client was thrilled!
 
 
I recently acquired another old door from a scrap pile in someone's yard and I am looking forward to creating another headboard.
