When Better After reader Jeanie discovered this headboard and picket fence at the local Goodwill, she automatically assumed they went together and bought them both.
I can’t say that the same thought would have occurred to me. I would have been like, “Cool, a headboard. I will paint this and make … a painted headboard! And perhaps I can take this fence and use it as … a very small fence!”
But she saw possibility in the pieces, and assembled them into …
Only the cutest garden bench you ever did see. Well done Jeanie! I am appreciatively clapping at my computer screen right now.
If I haven’t quenched your thirst for headboard makeovers, I’ve got a few more here, here, here, and here, and also this one that I forced my brother to make for me.

February 18, 2015 at 3:51 PMCan I borrow Jeanie to make a seat for my house, too?! Or maybe just her ideas on how to combine things to make something awesome!
