SYTYCD Week 3 "OLD"Headboard
For this week's category "old", I wanted to show the headboard I made using a vintage settee and vintage closet doors.
The cost of the entire project was around $10.00 dollars, $6.00 for molding, $3.00 for settee, free closet doors, free scrap molding and leftover house paint.

This is what the doors and the settee looked like before they were transformed into the headboard.
I used the back and the arms of the settee for the top pieces.
I used several paint colors to achieve an old weathered paint look. I scraped away some of the paint in certain areas using a putty knife, revealing the underlying paint color.

This is how it looks in my newly decorated bedroom, I made all the pillows, using new and vintage fabric and I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Please don't forget to vote Here.

Awesome Transformation! I just love it! I was wondering if there was anyway you would tell me where to find that fabulous duvet cover? Or atleast what that style is called so I can try to find something similar! You are so talented! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThe headboard is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the pillows.
Can you tell me where you bought the duvet. I've been looking for something like that.
~elaine~
It agree, this magnificent idea is necessary just by the way
ReplyDeleteA couple people asked where the duvet came from, I bought it at West Elm, and I love it. It was worth every penny, and it's made from organic cotton.

ReplyDeleteI know I'm late with this comment but I'm new to blogging and have been stalking everyone =)
Really beautiful and SO SO creative! I am just so in awe of y'all who can envision that these two things would go so well together. Love it!
I like your blog. I can't imagine why you didn't recover the "settee" instead of busting it. I've never seen a settee in my life except in photos. I just think that it was sad.Because couldn't you have just used other wood pieces to achieve that look instead of that beautiful settee?
ReplyDeleteSad. I would have rather seen the settee recovered. Other wood pieces could have been used where the settee would was used and been just as good.This is probably why I have in all my 50 years of life never seen an actual settee.
