Oh...thank you for that tip. It's almost completely stripped. (It's a "long haul" project.) I may paint the interior, or line it with something too.

BTW...I was on Martha's site and I saw this great idea for storing a quilt, or two. They took a thick, wooden drapery rod, painted it to match the wall color and hung it behind the head of the bed. Then, they draped a quilt over it so it looks like a headboard. Here's the pic: http://www.marthastewart.com/274298/...g-ideas#178415
