I found a barn door headboard in a rustic furniture store years ago. They wanted $2700 for a Queen size....no thank you! I followed the plans for the Farmhouse King Bed and added cross pieces for barn door look using instructions from the Brookstone Headboard. I cut the legs at 56” to add some height and I set the bottom of the back panel at 18” above the floor to make sure no gap is seen with our thinner, memory foam mattress. I couldn’t be happier with our headboard and the total cost, including screws & stain, was about $150! Boom! Thank you Ana White for sharing plans! I’m working on the Mini Farmhouse Bedside Table now & feel like I can build anything! I would highly recommend Power Pro Premium Interior screws (no splitting or stripped heads, no pre-drilling & they counter-sink great in soft wood). For the 4x4 posts I used GRK UberGrade R4 multi-purpose 4” screws, which had the same quality, all from Lowe’s.

Love it!
These look great! I'm thinking of doing something like this, although I might add a louvered panel on one of the doors since I plan to use an AAV. There is an atmospheric vent not too far away but trying to route a pipe would be too much of a pita. The doors could hide the water supply lines & hose as well as keep stuff from falling behind the machines. I do have to be mindful that I need to be able to open them and not have them obstructed though.
