King Size Headboard project

10.03.12

Disclaimer: this post contains affiliate links.

When Boo n I first got married, he went out and bought a beautiful queen size bed and dresser for us as an anniversary present.  Many years later… when he moved to start work with a new company, he went out and bought a king size bed.  However, I asked him not to buy a headboard because I’ve always wanted to build one.  Three years after the king size bed purchase, I finally got around to building it.  My king size headboard project is complete and I’m in love!!!

Boo and I went and bought the supplies I needed so I could get to work early the next day.  I had a day off and I knew the weather was going to be lovely so I didn’t waste any time.  Here’s the diagram I had drawn up sometime back, (thank goodness I still have drafting skills)!  *Some would argue that! LOL

Then recently I saw this headboard at Restoration Hardware and I liked the little shelf brackets at the top so I made a few changes to my original diagram.  My drawing was originally more shaker style but with a few alterations to my diagram, I made it work.

I’d call this a very successful WIN!  Totally affordable and cute but most of all, I can say that I MADE IT!
