MISS MOOX: Headboards

I have removed many of the 80's style mirrored walls in client's homes but these images give me something to think about. If you add a little molding, some rosettes, maybe even some age to the mirror itself...they aren't too shabby and not at all like something you would find in Jack Tripper's place! I like the idea of using them as a headboard...it's like a classier version of mirrors on the ceiling.

Add a mirror to give it a function.

Or hang it as a piece of art.

Use old doors, windows, gates as a headboard.

Use shutters as a dividing screen.

If building or remodeling, use the architectural element in it's original form.
(oh, how I covet these circles!)

As I have probably mentioned (many times before) I love to use old architectural pieces in new and exciting ways. Living in Charleston, old items like windows, shutters, doors, etc. are pretty prevalent. As I sold the window from my online store Objects yesterday, I got inspired to post all these images I have collected of interesting architectural elements used in an updated manner. I hated to see the little guy go but I am excited to see how my friend uses it in her new home!
