Bed’s Headboard Made From Vintage Barn Door

Bed’s Headboard Made From Vintage Barn Door AG WORLD Lance Seltun repurposed a vintage hay mow barn door into a queen size headboard He mounted it on the original track and attached it to a wall The door is split in the middle and opens on rollers to reveal a window that would’ve been partially covered by a normal headboard The big 6-ft wide by 8-ft tall hay mow barn door was salvaged from a 100-year-old barn None of the boards were cracked and it had a weathered red on the outside with gray on the inside He cut the door in half to produce two pieces 3 ft wide by 6 ft tall then added a center trim board on each panel He mounted the original guide rail on the wall and left the original wheels on top of the doors A trip to the local home improvement store produced two antiquish-looking lights that he positioned just inside the frame of each door The decorating project was complete when Seltun built a smaller 32-in wide mini barn door to cover a narrow window on another wall Both doors roll open on old wheels and are preserved with polyurethane to bring out the natural color of the weathered wood Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Lance Seltun 3337 42nd Ave S E Rochester Minn 55904
