DIYable: wood head to ceiling board

how’s this for a DIYable statement headboard?! reclaimed wood up the wall behind a bed and then extend it onto the ceiling! i also like that you can disguise the wires to two hanging bedside chandeliers under the wood! fantastic!

    I love this idea! Any suggestions on where to find this type of antique/distressed wood? I’m trying to decide if I like it better than a fabric headboard.

      you can start collecting worn wood by visiting junk or salvage yards, pick it up off the side of the road, etc. Or look for a construction site around you where they might be tearing down an old house etc. you’ll want thin boards so they’re easy to screw into your wall. good luck!

    Where does one get reclaimed wood in Brooklyn? I know there are some salvage warehouses…
