Is it possible to cut off bed posts and then put on a different headboard?
I have bed posts like this http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/louis-xvi-style-canopy-double-bed-88821.jpg
and I really don't like them (I've had this bed for 14 years). I was wondering if it would be possible to cut them off and then make a different headboard like this http://www.headboardsolutions.com/headboard_sample12.jpg
No. That head board is mounted to the wall and probably doesn't have a foot board. Get a metal frame for the box springs and mattress. Build the head board out of plywood and cover it like that. Mount it to the wall with cleats. (Find someone there to show you how to build a cleat.) Put the old bed frame in storage or sell it.
