DIY Headboard Project by Brooke....

Here's a great tutorial for those of you looking to make a really cool HEADBOARD that makes a statement! Brooke of the All Things Thrifty Blog did just that for her master bedroom!  I was so IMPRESSED by the look of this that I had to share it with all of you! For those of you thinking of giving this a shot, remember...  you can choose any fabric you like and make it even larger as well!  For ALL the step-by-step instructions check out her blog here.


What do you think? Is this something you could see yourself tackling as a DIY project??

    wow! this headboard is amazing! At first seems too complicated for a DIY, but actually it's always like this! In fact it's so easy, I'd give it a try and hope I'll not turn everything into a big mess :)

    If I didn't have a headboard already, I would be tempted. This is beautiful!! If you hadn't said DIY I would never have guessed. It's really beautiful!!

    I love how she used different patterns but kept the same color scheme. The end result looks fantastic.

    i might just do this! thanks for posting about it-i have never seen this and it is truly stunning. if i end up tackling this project i'll let you know-it will probably be more of a modern take on the original. yay!

    Unfortunately I can't picture myself doing it - thought I wish I could! Looks gorgeous. I have a platform bed that looks similar, without the pattern...this would be a great way for someone to spice up a plain mattress! xxSAS

    Great idea, lovely headboard, I bet it wouldn't look that good if I tried to put it together.

    I know what you mean....I would love to do this, but it would have to be a DAY where I don't have much to do. It will take time, but I bet it would be worth it. :))))

    This is on my to-do list, but the list is soooo long that I have no idea when I'll get around to it. We just finished renovating our sunporch into an office so maybe I'll move this to the top of the to-do list ;)

    Looks like fun! I would totally try this. When I did mine I needed way more tools, and my dad's help... http://adventuresindressmaking.blogspot.com/2010/05/beeswax-candles.html
