Iron and brass bed.

My mom discovered this great iron and brass bed frame (headboard and footboard) for only $19.99 at the Goodwill on Lake Austin Blvd. 

The footboard was the more interesting piece so I wanted to use it as the headboard. Unfortunately, it was too short. I ended up removing the wheels that were on the bottom and inserting two wooden poles purchased at the Home Depot (see pic below). Instant lift!
