My parents recently did a lot of work on their home. They refinished their pre-existing wood floors. They tore up old carpet and put wood down instead. They painted their walls with COLOR. And they took down old railings from the 1980s, including one from a loft that overlooks the living room, and replaced them with a more modern design. The house looks phenomenal - but at the same time, it’s not what I grew up in.
Anticipating the oncoming bout of nostalgia, I requested that my mom save some of the old railing. I knew I wanted to do something with it, but I wasn’t quite sure what. Over the past year or so, I’ve developed an urge to find (or to create) art out of previously purposed items. So I was sure that I would find something to do with that fencing. As we approached the date of the renovation, an idea struck. I wanted a headboard from the fencing/railing. It was genius - even the contractor who made it for me thought so.
It ought to be mounted on the wall, but we’re renting...so it currently lives behind the bed, sticking out just a bit above the bed. (can you even see it in the corner of the bed? right behind the pillows) I have high hopes of hanging it above the bed in a future home.
