A headboard of our own

Posted on Saturday, March 28, 2009 by in Uncategorized |

One of my favorite things about our bedroom furniture is our huge headboard. I love it because we made it ourselves, so we know that it’s unique and no one else has one quite like it. I went through an interior decorating phase, when I wanted to redesign everything and tried to add a creative flair to each room of the house. Since we already had a tan colored comforter and maroon sheets, we decided we would work with those colors; our palette winded up being green, maroon and dark and light browns. We painted the walls a really pretty green, and made artwork by stretching pieces of fabric that we bought over plain canvases. We used the same fabric from one of these pieces to make our headboard. It was really easy; all we did was wrap the fabric around a big piece of foam that we got from a home improvement store, with some netting in between so that it wasn’t too hard. We just stood it up against the wall with our bed in front of it. It was much cheaper than buying one and it coordinates perfectly with the rest of the bedroom furniture, which turned out great!
