Really? Of course! I said OK in addition to piece of occupation out of at that topographic point earlier he had fourth dimension to alter his mind. 

That affair is super heavy. 

It looked actually overnice later on a proficient cleaning. Up close, non that much, something was sprayed on it :( at that topographic point were lots of spots all around.

That's why I decided to pigment it in addition to exercise it every bit my bedroom's headboard.

The materials in addition to tools y'all volition need:

• 1 Room divider
• Paint  (I used Anne Sloan chalk pigment -Antique white)
• Brushes
• Sand paper

• Drill
• level
• 3" screws

For the Header in addition to side extensions (Optional)

• 1 1 x five board of pine
• 8' minor decorative molding
• 16' medium wall molding
• pneumatic nailer
• jig saw

Instructions

Paint the room divider. I applied 2 coats of ASCP on both sides, followed past times a coat of clear wax in addition to a calorie-free buff.  You tin give the axe exercise whatever pigment handling y'all wishing or improve yet, exit it similar it is.

Sand newspaper was used to give it a calorie-free distressed look.

If y'all determine to install the room divider/headboard off the flooring to give it to a greater extent than height, a 2 x four needs to survive anchored to the studs on the wall at your desired height. Check its grade line.

Once the 2 x four is installed, y'all tin give the axe prop upwards your room divider, securing it to the wall, where the studs are located.  Just similar that it makes a overnice headboard.

But if you're similar me, a fleck picky, ;)  because of the slanted ceiling I wanted the headboard to bring a marked middle point, only I also didn't similar that my bed was a tad bigger or wider than the headboard. So, I went ahead in addition to built a header alongside a couplet of legs for the sides.

Draw a centered pattern on a 1 x five board, using a jig saw cutting through your lines to shape a triangle.

H5N1 minor decorative molding tin give the axe at i time survive attached to the hand of the triangle.
