Beds...Not Just For Sleeping Anymore

 

Everyone enjoys a peaceful, uninterrupted night of sleep. The Cranky Queen is even "crankier" when she does not get her beauty sleep! Buttttttt....sometimes, beds become rickety or out of style or even (God Forbid), old...& people find themselves discarding head and footboards.

Above is the Cranky Prince, Logan, who helped me create this "headboard hanger." We found it on the side of the road in a trash pile. No rails. Dirty and chippy...no longer beneficial for a good nights rest!

It started out looking like this...excuse the mess...Cranky King's workshop is NEVER clean! Just because he thinks he is "royalty", doesn't mean he cannot pick up a broom every once in awhile!

As you can see, the varnish was peeling off...it was headed to the "old bed's heaven" before we snatched it off the road!

We added vintage hangers to be used to hang coats, hats, bags, etc.

 

So after power spraying the headboard to get all of the peeling paint off, Logan cut off the legs of the bed using a power saw.  We then added the old hardware & attached heavy duty hanger on the back for easy hanging.

This was our mother-son (queen-prince) "do-it-yourself" project.  And the Headboard Hanger sold last week! WE were thrilled.  And Cranky Prince had a good night sleep. The End!

KEEP CALM & SLEEP WELL
