DIY Headboard

I've been on a decorating kick lately...blame it on pinterest or my monthly Country Living and if you are like me and on a budget you have to know what you want, save for it, search for it and then maybe finally purchase it. Normally from craigslist for me...then sand, scrap, paint and re-do to get exactly the look you wanted. Well, I decided I wanted to update our bedroom. All I was going to need was a headboard and one nightstand (we already have one).

The did my blog stalking and figured out what headboard I wanted....I knew where to buy it retail but I started searching craigslist. I searched and searched and checked back but still didn't find what I wanted. I'm a huge Pottery Barn fan but don't love their prices...that's when I stumbled this blog all about DIYing. There it was!! A Pottery Barn DIY headboard and they looked identical! So, here we go again on another home project adventure (as if they ever stop) of creating a headboard! Here is the tutorial we are going to be using: http://diyshowoff.com/category/furniture/headboard/.

We have gathered up all the materials to start and the last we need to get decorative nail heads. Can't wait to show you once we are done!!

Here is what we are going to make and for a fraction of their cost!! Yipee!! Check back for an update!!
