Florida Headboards

Three years ago my husband and I bought a condo in Florida on the Gulf. It is in a great resort that we fell in love with while there on vacation. It took almost a year to purchase the condo, after waiting on a short sale that fell through, and then moving on to a different unit. After closing we went to Florida, painted, had flooring put in, furnished and decorated the whole condo during a weekend while in a tropical storm.

We bought a lot of the pictures and accessories in Indiana and took them to Florida that weekend. While shopping at a Home Goods store in Indiana, we were looking at beach type items and were able to find clearance beach pictures, lamps and nick knacks. When I was walking through the picture section I saw a man walking around with this dark brown door that had metal work on it. I followed him to see where he got the door, only to find him putting it back on the shelf. When I went to look at it, there were two of them. I called my husband over and said I thought they would be a great headboard for the master bedroom in the condo. He didn`t see it, but we bought them anyway. I painted them white and sanded them a bit to distress them. We packed them and took them to Florida. They look awesome!

I loved how they turned out. They were not heavy, so we just used heavy picture hangers to hang them.

I really wanted to make the room feel like you were at a beach house, not the tropical palm tree look.

My sister Debbie and her husband bought a home in Florida last year and while visiting her new place we went shopping for a headboard for her master bedroom. This time I think we were in Ross for Less, and found two short arch doors and we both thought "Headboard".  She bought them and we hung them above the headboard on her bed, and they looked awesome.

Debbie went for a little more sophisticated look. She gets to live in hers, while I rent mine to vacationers.

Had to show the bench. We covered it while I was visiting. Very nice, right?

Our sister Paula just bought a home in Florida, and it is just a matter of time before the pressure will be too much for her to resist to buy a door headboard. Come on Paula, you know you want to!
