We scored this farmhouse door on Craigslist for $10. It was from a farmhouse that was more than 100 years old. We chose this door for it’s unique two panel style and thought it would look great mounted horizontally as a headboard in our guest room. The size of the recessed panels allowed for the door to be trimmed to fit a queen sized bed just right.
We also loved the rustic look of the old keyhole and decided to mount the door with the keyhole at the top to give it more character.
When we first started working on it we thought we would strip it to bare wood and antique it, but soon found layer upon layer of paint. Once we started removing the layers of paint we discovered color tones that went well with the color scheme we had selected for the room. We revealed pale yellow and brown tones. We liked the look so much that we decided to stop there and begin the final coat. To finish the piece, we used a water based satin semi-gloss polyurethane. After the finish was complete, we mounted the headboard on the wall with a simple French cleat that we made out of a 1″x4″ poplar board.
