Picket-Fence Headboard

Posted by DSH on Sunday, September 03, 2006

With this new idea try to add a country-garden look to an ordinary bed frame.
Try preassembled picket or stockade fencing from a home-improvement store can easily be trimmed and painted to create the look of an indoor garden. The tall frame is anchored to the wall instead of to the bed to make more stable
Now What You Need are :
* Preassembled stockade fencing
* Sandpaper
* Latex primer and paint
* Drywall screws, anchor bolts, or other appropriate fasteners

Instructions:

1. Measure the width of your bed and the height you wish the headboard to reach. Purchase a preassembled stockade fencing panel and have the lumberyard cut it to size, or cut it yourself. Sand the surfaces and wipe them clean, then prime and paint them.
2. Attaching such a tall headboard to the bed frame may not give it enough stability. Using drywall screws, anchor bolts, or other appropriate fasteners, attach the headboard directly to the wall, then slide the bed up against it. Attach the headboard to the wall at several points on each side. Source: BHG.com - Better Homes and Gardens online
