HELP! King Bed Headboard (do I need the footboard)?
Comments (3)I forgot to add ONE HUGE DETAIL!!! The mattress height from the top of the mattress to the floor is 29" with a steel frame that is 8" from the floor. Boxspring is 9", mattress is 12." So the bottom of the bottom of the mattress sits 8" from the floor. Most complete beds with a head and footboard are 10+" from the bottom of the boxspring. I would be adding at least two additionalinches to the bed height! That is my DILEMMA! This is what happens when I peruse the forum prior to having my morning coffee!!! Sorry I inadvertently left out this big detail. That is the reason I do not think I can use a foot-board. I don't want a step stool (or ladder -haha) to get into the bed! I know the style of bed I want, but the challenges lies in trying to find that bed with a frame that is less than 10" from the floor....See Moreheadboard/footboard size
Comments (10)Ahhh, what I wouldn't give to have your bed and those linens! We bought our bedroom furniture early in our marriage, and I thought nothing of agreeing to DH's choice of bedroom furniture - which was an entire room full of Mission style stained quarter sawn oak. It's actually very nice and of great quality so it will last forever (unfortunately) but I wasn't thinking that I'd never be able to justify swapping it for a feminine iron bed down the road :-) I didn't end up using Cathouse for my daughter's antique bed so I can't speak to their customer service. The man I spoke with seemed helpful and sent many pictures, but I found the perfect bed from a mom and pop place down south - Loading Dock Antiques. I was very pleased with their customer service and their refinishing of her bed. From what I can see of it, your bed is beautiful. I love the finish. Sorry you had such a bad experience in getting it though. To the OP - that is a pretty bed and I hope you find one like it in a queen size....See MoreBed Trellis - Using the Headboard and Footboard
Comments (0)Image by: deborah1175 "Bed Trellis" Yet another idea for using old bed frames ...... Member deborah1175 put on her "Garden Junk" thinking cap to come up with this project after finding the headboard half price on a "junkin' around Atlanta" excursion with her daughter. It was put together like this: The side pieces are hollow tubes. I had some water pipe just the right size to fit inside tightly. I hammered that into the top of the headboard about 3 inches, then set the footboard on and hammered it down....See MoreKeep existing footboard , but replace headboard?
Comments (6)Believe it or not, I actually painted the fabric portion of a headboard fairly within the past 5 years. I did you paint specifically for fabric. I applied several coats of several different colors of paint using a stencil brush and wound up with a really nice (if I say so myself) leather look. That might be a way for you to get the color you want without having to replace either the headboard, footboard or both. If you are interested, let me know and I will take a photo of it and post here. BTW, the paint job, like I said, is about 5 years old and it has held up wonderfully....See MoreOlychick
