I've seen things made into headboards but How can one decoratively repurpose an early american type headboard?

people made headboards from old gates, antique doors, picket fencing...list goes on and on. My neighbor is discarding a full sized headboard with no frame. Every time I drive by it, the frugal part of my brain thinks "there ought to be something Cool that could be converted into. I am sure that when the trash trucks drive away, I'll come across Pure Gems of ideas.
