A Headboard Makeover
While looking for a table base for another project, I discovered this headboard at the Salvation Army Thrift store. I tried to ignore it but it spoke to me. No, I wasn’t hearing voices but my mind started flooding with makeover ideas and I got excited by the possibilities.
This makeover was simple. First, I popped off the finials using a rubber mallet and filled in the holes with wooden dowels and wood fill. Next, I cut away the dated motifs using a jigsaw . Then I sanded, primed and painted it. What a difference?
Next is the fun part – installation and styling. To be continued…..

Gorgeous! Which brand paint and what is the color name? Great job!
Hi Karen,
I used Olympic, no VOC semi gloss plaint. The color is Azalea Leaf and I purchased it from Lowes.
Great VISION! to have seen the new look in the old. Awesome new color and yes, the headboard has a new lease on life. Very creative and well done.
I just love the way paint (and a few tools!) can transform! Looks great. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the project…
