Iron Beds & The Guest Bedroom


This is our guest bedroom. Notice the lack of headboard. It has been that way for two years now.

This is how the room looked before I decided I wanted to go a different route. I had painted in red our door headbard that The Hubster and I built 10 years ago. 
Big mistake! I attempted to strip it over a year and half ago and well it STILL is sitting out in the garage waiting to be finished. 
In comes this beauty that I found for sale on our community FaceBook page. My heart skipped a beat. I was not sure it was going to work but for $40 and the offer of them bringing it to me I figured it was worth a shot.
I was delighted that it actually fit! This piece is just what this space needed. I am sure the GPs will enjoy having a headboard again!;)

I like the finish on it and it goes well in the room. Later on down the road I may decide to chippy it up to make it look vintage.

Now if I can only find a different bedside table and finish this little corner up. And yes, I do see the alarm clock on the floor!;) Oops.
As for the headboard out in the garage I think I will finish it up and use it for Oldest once he graduates from a twin bed.

  4. Don't throw away the old red headboard. The half-stripped condition is perfect for a Texas primitive sort of look. I'm actually looking to do a bedroom in that style right now and was salivating over that headboard!

  9. I like vintage looking iron headboards and yours was a great deal. We also are without a headboard in our guest suite and I was drooling over your wood door headboard! So glad you are keeping it for your oldest.

  12. I love your iron bed. It was well worth the money and delivery included?

    Red paint is really hard to strip from something, isn't it? xo Diana

  14. It's fab! I'll be interested to see if it does go chippy, because I have a black one in my daughters room that I've thought of tampering with! I also love the door headboard and this is also something I'm going to do. x

  15. You are right about the brass beds being timeless. I wanted one years ago, and chose something different. Now I wish I had gone with brass.

    They have so much charm.
    A wonderful addition to your home.

  25. Oh, the headboard is beautiful and what a deal you got. I could kick myself as I had and old iron headboard and footboard and my daughter used it until she wanted a daybed. I sold it at a garage sale for nothing! :(
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia :)
