Beds

Beds

Beds fall into an interesting category – they are at once a formal and an intimate part of out day to day – our personal space.  Perhaps because of this, we can sometimes get a bit playful with the design.

The possibilities are virtually endless when it comes to creating a headboard and, given the sometimes four or five needed in the. house or cottage, the opportunity to create is intoxicating!

The best thing is to keep your mind open and look at every piece you see as potential fodder.  Below are some examples of headboards we’ve made in the not too distant past.

Double Diamond Doors

Stephanie and Rita started with these doors and didn’t look back.  We cleaned them, painted and distressed them and added a hand made Indian fabric to the back.  Steve delivered and installed them and…

Diamond Double Doors Done

… And here you go.  The soft blue picks up the fine details in the fabric but lets the gold and reds shine.

Arched Delight

Still one of my favourite headboards, this pieces was once part of a prayer rail in a church in Broadhagen, ON.  We trimmed it to a queen size, finished of the finer points and hung it with a French cleat.

Shuttered

A seemingly random collection of shutters, adorned with fairy lights serves here not only as a headboard but a city scape art piece to boot.

From Rough …

We took this basement board door, cleaned, sanded and finished it, turned it sideways and added feet so that it could be this …

… To Finished

… a beautiful and approachable backdrop to these lovely pillows.
