Repurposing a headboard: make a slipcover for it (as above), dog bed, a doll bed, a child’s low platform bed, the back of a wide chair, a tabletop, cut an opening and use as a frame, a mirror frame, if it’s slatted, upholster it, if it’s solid, paint a picture in the center, decoupage a favorite image in the center. It killed me but I cut off the legs of this headboard so it would sit on the floor. I drilled holes for long bolts and attached blocks to the back of the platform bed for the headboard to attach. Hope this sends you on a creative journey.
