Looking to add a little farmhouse charm to your bedroom!?! This DIY Vintage Door Headboard is the perfect DIY project even for beginners!
Supplies:
- vintage door
- 1″ x 6″ trim piece {1 – 7′ long piece} *all of the cut measurements are for a queen sized bed.
- 3″ crown molding {1 – 6′ long piece
- 1″ x 4″ trim piece { 8 – 5′ long pieces}
- air nail gun & nails
- wood glue
- circular saw
- 2 wood clamps
- matte white spray paint
- drill & screws to attach to wall for room installation
Cut the old door 3″ wider than your mattress.
Take 2 of the 1″ x 4″ pieces glue & nail them together in an L shape. Nail the L to one end of the door.
Take 2 more 1″ x 4″ pieces glue & nail them together to make another L shape and nail and glue them to the other L to finish off the first leg of your DIY Vintage Door Headboard.
Here’s a better look at what the the legs will look like this when assembled on their own.
Repeat the same leg assembly on the other side.
Attach the piece of crown molding to the top of the headboard with nails.
To finish off the top attach the 1″ x 6″ to the top of the headboard.
Your DIY Vintage Headboard is now ready to be painted!
I sprayed ours a white matte for a classic farmhouse look.
To install the headboard securely we screwed it straight into the wall.
I love how it looks in our bedroom!!! Looking for more DIY inspiration!?! Pop on over to Dolen Diaries and say hello!

Great video! This is exactly the bed I’ve enivisoned in my mind but had not found exactly what I wanted. I never thought of building one from recycled doors! Thanks for the great video and new ideas for constructing furniture pieces from recycled products!
