We are digging this new farmhouse bedroom set! We made a beautiful DIY farmhouse bed and matching side tables. Happy us and happy customer. Here's how it came to be.

How to make a headboard

1. Cut the headboard pieces

In the video below, you can see me cutting the headboard pieces to size.

2. Prep the trim

After the pieces are all cut to size, you need to prep the trim over the top of the headboard, and the bottom, back, and front to hold them in place.

This is how you should assemble the headboard.

4x4 pieces

The next step is to add the 4x4 posts and the top header pieces.

Staining the wood

6. Stain

We stained the bed with Minwax dark walnut stain and sealed it with clear satin Minwax sealant. (Both can be found on Amazon.)

I love the rich stain and it looks awesome! We then brought it to our happy customer's home and here's how it looks in it's new home.

    Absolutely gorgeous. My only question (I didn't actually see it) was how did you connect the 4x4 posts to the headboard?

    Can you put a material list up for this bed?
