Bed’s Headboard Made From Vintage Barn Door
 ✖  |
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.
