When we replaced the closet doors in our house, I hated to just throw them away. After some thought, I realized these closet doors (pictured on the left) could be transformed into a headboard. Since I didn't have a headboard for my spare bedroom, this was a perfect opportunity!
First, I cut the doors in half length-wise to separate the louvered part and paneled part -- because I only wanted to use the paneled pieces for the project. After much contemplation, I decided to use a 4x4 on each end for posts, a 2x4 on the top & bottom to frame it out, and two small square pieces of plywood to top the 4x4 posts.
