I made this headboard about 10 years ago and covered it in the dark print fabric that is now the large pillows on the

bed. I recovered it with a twin bed coverlet that I had. I like it better because it lightened up the room. The best part is it cost nothing!

    Thanks so much for sharing the great idea and the instructions. Have been wanting a headboard for years, but now this seems like the perfect way to do it. Love to reuse, recycle, sew, and DIY!

    Love the white coverlet with the pop of colors in the pillows. A real statement of style.

    Thank you to everyone! Ruth, I like your idea of using a wooden gate to make a headboard. I've seen old doors used too. Jim, you're right I do need some good artwork, especially since I am an artist by trade!!

    ART WORK ON THAT PERFECT WALL WOULD DETRACT-CLUTTER, IN MY OPINION!

    I am a fan of wall art however, with the scale of the headboard and the lamps, I think this is perfect just the way it is. I wouldn't add anything more to that wall. It would detract from that beautiful headboard and look cluttered.

    This is still so cool. And I recently saw a headboard made out of 3 garden trellis ...on someone's post! Very soothing and gardeny. This is so cozy looking. Thanks for the revisit!
