Mini Makeover part 3…the headboard

12:48 am by kim 53 Comments

Hi everyone, I said I would post this today but was called away to see my sick sis. I quickly made my bed and tried to take some pics while I had the light.
Better late than never!

Here is my headboard we were so blessed to get as an old door from our church a few weeks back.

This door was original to our Church building which was built in 1899.

Here is the before. She had a few chips but not enough to make her chippy. I wasn’t sure what to do with her and got a lot of suggestions and lovely comments from you all.  I thought about removing the old paint but didn’t want to get into the whole lead thing. Even after a cleaning she still seemed a little “dirty” looking to me. I knew I had to finish her off in a way that I would feel comfortable spending all my nights with her!

Hubby and I put up some molding on the top to give it a finished look and  provide a little shelf. I gave her a couple coats of Ben Moore’s “cloud white” which also match the night tables. I wanted to keep the paint color a little uniform to create a sense of space as the room is not that wide on this end.
As soon as I put my first coat of paint on her I knew I had made the right decision for me.
I love it!

Yes, Jack managed to get into another pic! I think he goes so well with the bed!

I added baskets under the table for extra storage space. I placed a couple of lovely crocheted pillow cases I got from GW in there for the pic but I’ll be using the baskets  for junk magazines and books.

You get to see a pic of Jack and Tara. Seeing Tara in a pic is a rare sight as she is quite camera shy so I thought I would provide you all with the thrill of seeing her. Lol.

She’s not shabby or chippy but hey! If you get to be 112 years old you may want a little paint job too! I’m really pleased with how she turned out!

I will probably post a part 4 to this mini makeover because I’m trying to milk it for all it’s worth I’ve got a couple of  ideas for my blank wall. Stay tuned!

Be blessed

    Your bedroom is so beautiful! I'm loving the transformation! And how cool is it that those doors are from the 1800s? I also love the ruched pillows on your bed. It's all lovely!

    OOO OOO Kim, it all looks so beautiful! Good choice on the headboard. You're right about it not being chippy enough to carry that look. I like the addition of the ledge… to frame it out! You could seriously submit this to a magazine! I love the basket under your bed table, too. You did good πŸ™‚ xoxo

    Hi Kim,
    I love the new headboard, it looks great, and fresh with it's new paint job. Maybe once I get these little girls grown up like yours, I can add a little more white around here! Thanks for the inspiration, as always.

    Hi Kimberley-

    I love your style and what you have done with your bedroom. Tara and Jack sure make it even more cozy. I have a Trax – he likes getting in all of my photos.
    I like the way you mix white with cream as well as the way you add lots of texture to add interest to the white color scheme. I am eager to see what you have in mind for the wall.
    Thanks for linking up and showing us your style.
    My best- Diane

    Hi Kimberly I'm visiting from In My Own Style. How special to have a headboard that looks so cool, and is meaningful, too! I love the shelf you added, and agree that the color is great in there. Your room looks so pretty and peaceful. I'm going to go look at the other parts of your Mini Make-Over now.

    Blessings,
    Marilyn
