We went to Circa 1857 on Friday. It was a really neat store that I am sure I will go to again. (Hopefully when April comes and visits!) They have really pretty decor. Some of which is overpriced but some is not. It is one of those stores where you say, "I could make that". Anyway, we found a door that we plan to use as a headboard. I saw this on a show or in a magazine a long time ago. I went looking for wrought iron but it was way too expensive. The door has an outer layer of flaking paint but underneath that is a great already distressed door. It has original hardware that we are leaving on. Our plan is not to paint the door. I also plan to hang something from the door knob. If you are a visual processor you probably have no clue what I am talking about. But I am sure all of my do-it-yourselfers (aka: my poor friends) know what I am saying.

Old doors have so many uses. Don't ever throw one away. I think it will look awesome. Your poor Moma
I'm sorry..I'm a bit behind :) I love this door!! I'm with your ma...old doors have so many uses. We took down a swinging door in our kitchen and i'm going to use it as a big sewing table!!
Anyway, LOVE it! Can't wait to see the finished product. And, oh yes, we will be hitting that store when i'm in town!! :)
