I just found a bedroom set at a garage sale for a great deal, but I bought it more for the drawers and hutch...I was trying to figure out if I could turn the headboard into a couch or something, and this helped visualize it. Urban Outfitters has some really neat floor cushions that could be a nice padding on something like this.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427803803759253305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439096455763788298.post-71366636133492748232011-03-11T15:53:41.792-08:002011-03-11T15:53:41.792-08:00I love it when somebody takes something that didn&...I love it when somebody takes something that didn't look very good when it was brand new and turns it into something cool that really deserves a place on the planet!

And such great vision -- who would have thought to turn a headboard into a bench?!<br /><br />Funny, as I read your post, I was thinking that it sounded just like an episode of Junk Brothers!! They're from here in Ottawa, and they picked up a piece of garbage from a friend's curb and re-did it on an episode of their show. And one of the JBs (Jim) worked at the Home Depot near our house last winter :-)<br /><br />Once again, great job, Karla!! You and your hubby should start your own furniture refurbishing business!! <br /><br />Kelly @ DesignTiesDesignTieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02561438683476880640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439096455763788298.post-17807222398127209872009-04-25T15:20:00.000-07:002009-04-25T15:20:00.000-07:00That's quite incredible!

Because of this post and your amazing headboard-into-bench transformation, I got a headboard today at a garage sale. <br /><br />I was later and a lot of stuff was gone. I was checking it out, they were loading it all up to take to goodwill. The man says "I'll load it up for you right now, if you'll just take this. I don't want to take it to goodwill. It did have a tag on it of $10 so I said "how much do you want for it?" He said, "nothing, I just want it gone." I was like "Really? O.k. "<br /><br />My dh wasn't very happy about this but I'm using your post for inspiration.
