Antique Newbeds
Give an Old Bed a New Life!
Antique Newbeds are antique bed posts remade into new king or queen size beds for today's living.

Bed Gallery
All of the beds we make are basically the same build. Made with antique 19th-century posts and refitted with new rails and foot and headboards and redone with an old stained or painted finish made in a modern mattress size. All beds have heavy antique-style rails with bed bolt construction.
I would put the beds we build in 3 finish styles.
Each style can be a basic bed and finish or much more involved.
They can have a very historical look or a more custom-designed look in design and finish.

1 Simple Painted Finish Can be 1 color, 1 color with trim or a color over a color Museum Finish
2 Stained Hard Wood Aged Crackle Finish
usually Curly Maple or Cherry
3 Folk Art Grained or Decorated Finish with period designs from antique furniture
Pricing is based on posts, detail, and finish options which can impact the cost with a basic simple Queen bed with 4 antique posts, a wide headboard in 1 painted finish that would start at $2500 cost up, depending on design and finish options.
Detail Gallery
We start with antique bed posts and then add custom designed details like headboard, footboard, and blanket roll.
Most of our beds are made in a custom aged/distressed painted finish and be done in multi-layered colors, grain painted, folk decorated, or in a Soap Hollow style with bronze stenciling.
We also have beds that can be restored in the original mahogany, cherry or curly maple woods.
Antique Posts
We have over 250 beds in stock. You can choose the bed posts from our inventory or we can take a family heirloom bed that you have and make it into a beautiful, functional bed to be used by your family for future generations.
How It Works
Curious about the process for ordering your own Antique Newbed?
Here's how it works:
-
Find a style and look of bed from our Bed Gallery or gather photos of a bed you like.
-
Email us with your bed design and we'll find antique posts that would be a good match for your project.
-
Once we have our posts and know what bed size you want, we can finalize the design and finish, including any special details like blanket rolls and painted decorations. I can also provide drawings and finish samples.
-
Order your bed and receive an estimated time of completion. Beds can be shipped, delivered, or picked up. Most of our customers prefer to arrange a pick up and visit local antique shops in Lebanon and Waynesville along with our large booth at the Heart of Ohio Antique Center in Springfield while they're in the area.
-
A bed bolt wrench comes with each bed and the parts are all numbered for easy assembly.

Enjoy your Antique Newbed!
