Design-It-Yourself : Headboards
Loving these easy to do, DIY headboards. Who said you need something pricey to get the desired look. A little paint, repurposed items and voila something drab to fab. I unfortunately have a built in headboard on my bed but trust me when I say when I will buy a new bed…. I am definitely going all out with my headboard.
I am loving the mixture of typography, but I’m not sure I see this work well for a headboard. Sure for wall art but regardless it’s inspiring.
I am liking the idea of using a mantle. How pretty is this? Obviously I would make sure the frames or decoration were well “fixed” incase you decide to have some adult playtime in bed (if you know what I mean)
The idea of using doors is amazing. You can find an inexpensive vintage decorative door and paint it. Maybe the molding 1 color and the rest another. How pretty would that be?!
Would you or have you attempted to make your own headboard? Are you more paint, wood or fabric?

August 22, 2011 at 12:56 (637 days ago)I made a fabric one last fall. I LOVE it. It’s mounted pretty securely on the wall so I can lean against it like an attached headboard when I’m sitting up to read or watch tv. When I made it, we had a queen sized bed and I made it just a tad too big so when our big down comforter was on it, it didn’t look small. When we upgraded to a king sized bed, it’s a little small, but barely even noticeable. I love seeing it everyday knowing that I made it! Here is a link to my post on it: http://lifeafterthevows.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-made-it-headboard-edition.html
