Old Waterbed Headboard Turned Shabby-Chic

I found this old, 1980's era waterbed (remember those?) headboard at a yard sale. I thought it would make a cute entertainment center or display cabinet. After sanding the original finish off, I used Rust-oleum American Accents Ultra Cover latex paint (Heirloom White). I love this paint because it only took one coat for complete coverage. I replaced the glass in the cabinet doors with chicken wire to give it a rustic, country feel. Finally, I sanded the corners in order continue with the rustic look. I love this piece! My favorite paint to use is Rust-oleum's American Accents. It works just as well as those more expensive brands AND it is much cheaper. 

I plan on using this as our new entertainment center. We will mount our flat screen above it and place all of our DVDs in the chicken wire cabinets. I plan to put pictures, my DVD player, & our satellite box on top, too. SUPER CUTE! It goes great with my other rustic, country-themed furniture and decor.
