Head & foot board made from old doors!

Hello blog friends!  I am so so so excited to share my project with you today---I just finished it all up and am really really loving the look so far!  

This project all started from a garage sale hubs and I went to about a month ago. 

We picked up two beautiful old doors for CHEAP and brought them home knowing we could use them for something.

This is where I come into play---I am the designer or the "projects".

I came up with a plan and my wonderful husband "executes".

And execute he did, this weekend while I was visiting my sister!

More on that story later, but here is the final product.

:o) 

I have to admit I did a little happy dance when I saw everything "put back together"!

Here is the before---I know the wood door color is nice and half of you might say you would have kept it darkkkk.....buttt  I LOVE the white. 

And I have no regrets! 

Ahhh fresh and nice.

I am so so so excited that we are finally getting around to the decor of the guest bedroom!

It is so hard when it takes so long to finish the moving in and nesting process....but I think I am finally getting there.

The bed frame was actually pretty "simple" and by simple I mean it only required a few cuts to make everything all fit perfectly.  We used two boards on either side of the head and foot of the bed to connect and strengthen the entire frame.

Like I said Hubs did this part all by himself....I will freely admit that I thought that I needed to be present for this part...I might be a bit of a micromanager when it comes to my crafty "projects", but wow was I pleasantly surprised with his craftsmanship!

Andd that meant that I was able to get right to my favorite part.

Talk about teamwork right?  

I LOVE to paint!

And painting was even more fun with 

my AMAZING birthday---chalk paint! 

(And wax)

Ahhhh aren't the details of the distressing DROOL worthy?!?

I am thinking this is a great guest room start, now it is time for me to add some wall decor!

Maybe a re-finish of the night stand on the other side of the bed.

A new lamp shade for that side as well and finally maybe a dresser up-cycle!

Watch out guest bedroom I am ready to get you right!

Butttt I can't up-cycle everything in this room...

Do you remember the old school desk that I refinished FOREVER ago?  I love to use it as a multifunctional night stand table and place to set extra blankets and such for guests.

And it will stay just as it is!

What do you think?  Not bad for a super super inexpensive up-cycle to headboard right??

I am linking up to some of these amazing parties.
