Step #1:
- Locate your local building recycler and plan on spending some time there being amazed at all the cool things saved from demolished old buildings.
- Head over to the door area and start looking for a suitable door for your headboard. You want some interesting detail on the woodwork. Panels are great but be sure you choose a door with symmetrical panels, like a single- or 5-panel door.
- I was lucky to find a swinging door (no doorknob hole to fill) that was unpainted on one side.
