i can’t visit calgary without making a trip to the okotoks salvage center.
today i immediately fell in love with this headboard.
i didn’t measure it but i am guessing it is a double or maybe even a queen.
i bet you could get it for less than $10.00
i would slap some paint on that baby, wouldn’t it be gorgeous?
since i can’t take it home with me it is still sitting at the salvage yard.
someone please buy it!
I am obsessed with unique headboards.
they are the prefect statement piece for a bedroom.

i adore all the headboards above BUT i still think my salvage yard find has the best shape.
also, i am blogging over at dirksen dabbles today about how to create a successful art cluster!
make sure you head on over!
the author bethany is a fantastic artist.
i wouldn’t mind adding a few of her pieces to my collection 🙂
check out more of her work here.
ooh i’m a sucker for the upholstered headboards! all gorgeous, though 🙂 great find.
What a fun looking salvage yard! I don’t think I have anything like that near me. Too bad you couldn’t bring the headboard home with you. How much longer are you going to be in Calgary?
To.die.for! By far the salvage yard headboard has the best lines. I also like the one that is similar but with bright upholstery.
Thanks for mentioning my artwork Danielle! That was very sweet of you. Great guest post, by the way!

Oh it’s fabulous- did you buy it? Off to see your post:)
I love it. I am wanting to do something with my headboard. What a great salvage yard.
Totally fun…and yes it was an awesome headboard, I’d paint it hot pink or teal for my bedroom for a bright splash of color! I totally heart salvage yards and unfortunately my backyard can sometimes look like one with all of my trash day finds!!!
Yep that would look great – you are so lucky having a great place like that near you!

the only thing better than a quirky, fun headboard is a CHEAP quirky, fun headboard! lovely images.
Wow that headboard is gorgeous!!
I can see why you make it a point to stop there! Love that headboard!!
Ok Danielle…where is this salvage yard?
I bet you could come across really great finds at that place. That headboard is SO unique!
Why did I not know about this place when I lived in Calgary??? Looks super fun.
Ok, what?! Pardon.. why has NO ONE EVER TOLD ME of this place?! I knew I adored you before, but this little secret.. 🙂 oh, and you drove right by my neck of Calgary on your way to Okotoks 🙂 xo
OK I live in Calgary and have never heard of this place! Do you have an address for it?
that headboard is unreal. please tell me you bought it!? so much potential. oh dear.
if you didn’t i may drive from pennsylvania to get it. i wish we had a salvage center nearby.
Beautiful headboard! That place looks like a DIY treasure hunt! Lucky you! Great inspiration too. I sometimes wish we didn’t already have headboards to speak of for all of our beds! 😉

What a beautiful headboard! I need a salvage center like that nearby!
That is a great headboard! I love all of those images you posted. Great inspiration!
I agree with you, that salvage yard headboard is amazing. I can’t believe it would be that cheap too. Hope someone does something gorgeous with it – it won’t be me though, I’m in Australia!
