10. Thanks! Today we found an old door that's going to be our new headboard.

Nothing special about the wood, it'll stay painted (mainly because it's probably lead paint and I've lost enough brain cells as is).

Plans are to mount the glass knobs and escutcheon plates to the front, as well as some swing-arm lamps that I've re-painted and the wife has made shades for.

Pictures to follow- eventually.
