I really love this project and weds it is awesome. About 4 years ago I got a head board for free, it’s been waiting for this project. Is there any way that or place I could get a price out of the instructions to make this with dad? He would needs to have some kind of print out to be able to see the how to. And what would you suggest as a protective coat after painting. Again this site is so wonderful.

WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS I THOUGHT IT WAS A TOY BOX W/OUT A LID. UPON READING THE INSTRUCTIONS, I SEE DIFFERENTLY. LOVE THE IDEA, BRIGHT PRETTY COLORS TO ATTRACT BEE’S TO POLLINATE THE FLOWERS.
I’VE GOT A BED FRAME EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE SHOWN AND ONE W/TALLER END RAILS, SO I THINK I’LL MAKE BOTH A FLOWER BOX AND A TOY BOX W/1 DEEP DRAWER. TY

Gail, I love this post. Thanks for the step by step as I am trying to put together a headboard bench myself. Wish me luck!

I have a double bed head and footboard and a head and foot board from a bunkbed. Since I have been reading all your posts I am always on the lookout. Got them both “free on the curb” sort of thing. I wanted to make benches out of them. My neighbors around me in my townhouse are so curious as to why I have this JUNK. Thanks to this detailed post I have an idea as to how I can do it. Wish I had all your great tools but I still will do it.
Painted an old desk and end table with the chaulk paint yesterday. Is it supose to look like pudding? Oh, forgot to take before pictures, so eager to just get started. Your my inspiration to do all the things I alway wanted to do.
Thanks so much Gail!

Stephanie,

I didn’t seal it, but I did use Krylon Spray paint which is for outdoor use. If using latex paint, I suggest a marine varnish/polyurethane to seal your door.

I just have a question. seeing how usually wood from a headboard or bed is designed to be used inside did u seal the wood ahead of time to prevent it from warping? I have a interior door I plan on turning into a outdoor patio table. and figured it would be a good size.
