A few years ago, I wanted to dress up our room a bit by making a headboard.
I loved the look of oversized headboards, but I've never been a fan of the oversized price.
To accomodate a tight decorating budget, I created the look of a large headboard
by tacking trim to the wall and painting the inside.
Really easy and pretty inexpensive.
You can check out the post HERE.
The only problem with this type of headboard is that you can't move it around.
That can be a challenge for a girl who likes to change things up frequently.
After a couple of years, it was time to add a bit more oomph.
I raided the garage and found a bunch of scrap pieces of wood.
I made sure they were all about 1/4'' thick, but I used all sorts of different kinds of scraps.
Beadboard, pegboard, mdf, whatever I could find.
I figured out the hard way that it was best to listen to my husbands suggestion and start at the top.
All of the pieces in a horizontal row need to be the same width.
They can and should be different lengths.
Attach one horitontal row at a time and work your way down the wall.
I tacked the pieces up with a pnuematic nail gun.
It took awhile... and the nail gun and compressor scared the crap out of my dog.
She hid in my closet for the duration of the project.
Here is a picture of the finished headboard.
I love the new look! Clean and shabby at the same time.
Feel free to try this at home.
You just have to be happy with the fact that your bed will never ever ever move again...:)
