I have a very pretty antique headboard and footboard but the railings don't fit. Does anyone have some neat ideas about how to use or display it in my Primitives and Antiques shop? Iv seen some neat benches. Any other good ideas? Thanks so much!!!

I have made benches from old headboards and footboards, but also they can be quilt racks (just space the headboard and footboard a few inches apart with wood spacers and then hang the quilts over the headboard and footboard. I have also seen headboards as the back of a hutch with shelves attached directly to it and then set on a buffet or dresser, etc. And using the same concept as the quilt rack, but perhaps more like 12 inches apart, you can make a darling planter box (just make more of a box rather than just spacers between. Hope these ideas are helpful!

Hugs & blessings,

Brenda
