A very nice, very ornate bedroom suite was passed down through our family and wound up with my brother. The problem is that the headland footboard are for a full (double) bed and no one in his family or mine want a double. I suspect this is a pretty common problem. He has been wrestling with the problem for some time. He doesn’t want to sell it but he has no use for it.
I have an idea and I want to see if anyone has done this.
my idea is to build a king or queen headboard that would frame the original. The visible part of the larger headboard would be in some sort of compatible finish and style but not so flashy as to steal a viewers attention from the old headboard.
the set has a footboard also. I’m a bit less concerned about that but I can imagine wings constructed for it.
thoughts?
