Being someone who love DIY I can fully respect the idea of taking an object such as a headboard and the upcycling it into something new or something else I need such as a bench, a coat rack, or even a desk. And I have found examples of all of these DIY recycle ideas for headboards and couple more…all with links to how it was done or the source of where it was found. Take a a look here and then look at your old headboard, does it need new life as a hall bench or a garden gate? It may or you may just love your headboard right where it is, at the head of your bed. These ideas might just give you the inspiration to go out and create your own. Or, if you need some further inspiration, for lets say, a bench, go and have a look at these bench ideas.

Do you have any other ideas to upcycle a headboard? I was hoping to find a light fixture made from an old headboard but no such luck. But I did find this awesome desk, but no source for who did it.
