Here we are again with the second in my series of SUPREMELY procrastinated posts.

Remember when I talked about dreaming of a Kreg Jig and how I managed to slap this Headboard together?

Yeah… I know.   I barely remember it, either!

But I did.

And I really did finish it… honest.

After I framed the two bi-fold Shaker Style closet door out with some 1x4s, I added a little 1×2 as trim.

Mitering it at the corners with my hand-saw…

Don’t need no Miter-Saws here, baby!

{Umm… but I’d flippin’ LOVE one.  Ryobi, are you listenin?}

So then, I painted it black and added the top piece of trim {also a 1×4} and hung it on those crazy-beautiful stenciled walls.

Oh, just ignore the lumpy pillows and lack of duvet cover.

The headboard and stenciled stripes probably distracted you from that anyway, right?

Oh, please say they did!

  5. Holy Crap, Gwen, that is AWESOME!!! I have been looking for a DIY headboard project for awhile but haven’t found one I like enough to commit to…until now. Gonna look back thru to see if I missed it the first time, but what were the final dimensions on it (roughly)?

    I’ve got an old New Orleans style French Quarter headboard that I love but it was for a queen and I have a king now. I’ve tried to figure out how to “fix” it to make it expand a bit but I just can’t make it work (without major money). This would probably satisfy me. I just love it. Thanks for posting it.
