Mirror door headboard

Materials and tools:

gate
glass
circular saw
2"x4" lumber
sandpaper
stain

Cutting the door:

1. Cut the door to the desired size using a circular saw. The mirrored section measures 5' x 8" with an additional five inches on one side and 11 inches on the other.

2. The door will extend two inches past the mirror on each side.

Tip:To make sure the mirror doesn't extend into the cutout area, drill a hole an inch from the edge, then two inches, and so on.

3. Clean the door and then sand any scratches and rough edges.

4. Cut one 2 x 4 to 54 inches, then tear to width of door-1 3/4 inches.

5. Cut two 2 x 4's to 25 inches.

6. Build the base of the shelf. Attach the 25-inch 2 x 4 pieces to the 54-inch pieces on each side and center.

7. Stain all the pieces.

8. Screw the base of the shelf to the door.

Installation:

1. Find and mark the studs on the wall.

2. Determine the placement of the bed.

3. Place the door on the wall studs.

4. Touch up as needed.
