DIY Headboard

I had been planning on making a headboard for our master bedroom for about a year and finally got around to doing it. Thanks to my mother-in-laws step by step how to, it was actually pretty easy.

I started with a huge piece of plywood.

Drew half of the shape I wanted on a huge piece of paper.

Folded paper in half.

Cut my desired shape out of paper.

Traced the shape onto my plywood.

My husband sawed the shape for me.

I tightly stapled two layers of batting (found at Hobby Lobby) to the plywood.

I super tightly stapled my fabric (found at fabric.com-7 oz duck) to the plywood.

Hammered my nailhead trim kit (found at Beacon Fabric) around the headboard twice.

My husband and I love it so much! We are planning on hanging a sweet rhino head like this one over the headboard.

I also made the grey/white pillows with fabric from fabric.com.

You can see the dresser I refinished and the sunburst mirror I made hangs above it. My sister-in-law made me that awesome grey/white striped blanket at the bottom of the bed. It is even prettier in person.

Here is some art I made near the bottom of the bed, hanging next to another window. The typography canvas idea was totally stolen from someone else. I made it before pinterest so for the life of me, I cannot remember who I got that idea from. Anyone know so I can credit them?

Is anyone else working on their master bedroom? What projects are you working on?
