*Turn a HeadBoard into a Table*


Here is an easy project!
I needed a table for my foyer, so I got to thinking....
I called in the handyman (my husband) and let him in on my new plan...that he would have have to build! ha ha
We had an old headboard and footboard, it was not a matching set and I had almost thrown them out a few times. I am so glad I didnt! He just cut the side posts off and glued a board to the bottom of the headboard to make the table deeper. He used a very long screw and went through the top to screw on the side posts for legs! Done. It is now a table! I did add a fresh coat of white paint to the whole thing.
And by the way... I did tell my husband thank you and gave him a big kiss!
He seems to go along with all my crazy ideas and God Bless him for it!

Oh my goodness.... Good News! I have been featured on Bobbypins Boardwalk!
I am delighted , I just love Jan's Blog anyway!

I also wanted to say a Big "THANK YOU" to my wonderful blogging friend Cindy, she made me this beautiful tag! She is so kind, I know everyone would enjoy visting her blog and seeing her artwork!

    Wow. I posted a few months ago about my own headboard/footboard and was wondering what to do with it. Never saw one made into a table. You've given me something else to consider. That looks super!

    I'm your newest follower & love your blog. I love this idea of using the headboard for a table. I never would have thought of that. I noticed that you said you like Pride & Prejudice. Which version do you like best? I have some photos of were the recent movie was made on my blog as I live near by (in England). If you get a minute please feel free to check it out. http://christmas-believe.blogspot.com/
