Salvaged Wood Headboards: Twin Boys Room

Yesterday I showed you a few headboards I pinned on Pinterest using salvaged wood that I wanted to make for the twins room.  We were able to gather up enough old wood from a pallet and an old fence that our friend was going to throw away. 
(Please note:  be sure to seal up the boards with a non-toxic sealer to prevent off-gassing.  A lot of pallets are treated with insecticide or contain formaldahyde.We used Safecoat Safe Seal to seal up the boards).

Here's a before shot of the boy's nursery as we're pulling everything out of the room.
Complete with semi-naked babies playing with screwdrivers. 

 And here's as shot from the same angle of the new beds and headboards.

And here's a closeup.....

My husband added a push button so the boys can turn the light on/off themselves.  

They love that part!!!

 Here's one of them in the garage, you can see the top ledge/shelf thingy better in this photo.

We bolted the headboard directly to the studs in the wall.

 He's putting his letters on the top shelf.  He loves doing that over and over.

Now he's admiring his work.  Love that kid!

Hope you like our latest project
