Repurposed Modern
Collected paint stir sticks stained to match the bedside table create a headboard bursting with textural interest. Pops of color in the bedding and pillows add extra charm to this modern rustic look.

Classic Rustic
Connecting three weathered shutter door panels is a great way to attain an instant rustic feel. Complete the look with a coordinating piece of artwork for extra interest overhead.

Shutter panels were reclaimed for this bed’s footboard, and a found panel topped with wooden finials was used to create the headboard.
