Ronique Gibson To get the distressed worn look, I have seen people paint the door first in varying shades of color. In this case, 2 shades of beige, but not fully, just enough to add color in varying places.
Then you can rent an electric hand sander at your local home improvement store and get varying degrees of sandpaper (grit levels.) Then sand off varying levels of paint to get the look.
i was wondering where you had gotten the dresser or somewhere i could get one like it? thanks! love the room! - love the colors and how its so uncluttered. the doors go perfectly with the room, and i love the pop of rustic color that the dresser brings. its all very soothing, but yet not boring! its amazing! thanks so much »
Speaking of vintage materials, I love this use of propped doors as a headboard (though to do this right, a casual prop wouldn't be enough—you'd need to make sure it's sturdy).
Here is the same salvaged door idea, doubled. This version shows the doors placed behind the bed from the floor up, which looks better to me. If you can find two doors, this is the way to use them as a headboard.
These weathered doors have been transformed into a beautiful and architectural headboard. If you only have one door, hang it horizontally at headboard height.
10. Maintain and enhance. Once your bedroom is in order, make a promise to spend a few minutes each day maintaining the space. Make your bed in the morning, put laundry in the hamper at night and try to clear out drawers and cupboards every few months. I am a big believer in designing over time, so don't worry if you can't run right out and purchase everything you want right away.Keep a shopping list handy as well as an inspiration board or ideabook on Houzz, so when you are ready to add something new, it will be something you love.More bedroom design ideas:Browse thousands of bedroom design photosYour Perfect Bedroom: Calm and Airy or Moody and Dark?Desks in the Bedroom — Yea or Nay?
