Reuse shutter for headboard

I found this shutter nearby; they were refurbishing somewhere and this well-shape piece of wood was just waiting for me to pick it up. It might have been exposed to weather but certainly on a covered patio as it is just perfect. I love restoring furniture but it's also comforting to deal with a non-woodworm damaged piece sometimes! 
Wood shape is perfect and the lock is intact so this will be a great project to add to my bedroom makeover. In this post, I was telling you my existing headboard is fine and I still like it but adding this shutter will certainly be an asset and therefore a customized headboard.

I used ammonia and liquid soap to remove dust and grease and let it dry in the sun.
Once cleaned I used Ironstone from MMS mil paint on the shutter and a chalky grey on the headboard. This is the result and a preview of my bedroom makeover.
