Old headboards - don't throw them away







Hey there,
This is Gayle from sunny CA. and yes Judy it is sunny!!

I stopped by my favorite furniture consignment shop, I was looking for headboards and hopefully the matching foot board. Along the back wall was the perfect set and this one had "pineapple" posts! Why headboards? They make the perfect bench! It is much easier than you think, a couple cuts with the saw, screwing boards to brace the seat, some angle brackets. A few more steps and before you know it you have a fabulous bench.

Perfect for anywhere in your house. The picture is one that I had in a model condo here in Lodi. That reminds me, the client liked it so much the bench found a new location, the entry of his house in Los Angeles! Oh well, plenty of benches and the fun is in the hunt after all.

Another example of how items can be repurposed and useful for many years to come.
