DIY Headboard {Remodelaholic Inspired!}
Well, I was browsing one of my FAVORITE DIY blogs Remodelaholic and found that I was having the same issue with wanting a new/cute headboard! I couldn’t find anything I loved that wouldn’t blow my budget! Remodelaholic to the rescue! I used her headboard tutorial for the most part. She used cabinet doors and I used an old window shutter so I, meaning my sweet hubby, had to make a few adjustments. I was excited to test my limits with the power tools and I had so much fun with this! I love it in my bedroom! It just adds the pop of color I needed (I used Krylon Cherry Red), since we are renting and I can’t really paint my walls 🙁
We started with this shutter that I bought from ReStore for $5! |

Woweeeee! You did an awesome job! I’m always afraid of bright color, but this looks awesome against the white background! Your bedding is gorgeous too! I can’t believe you made an old shutter into a fantastic headboard! So creative!
wow! Hopped over from remodelaholic. I love the way this headboard looks! You did a great job.

So creative. I have an old shutter just hanging out, great idea. How’d you get such a smooth finish with the spray paint?
what a clever idea!!!!
Saw your headboard on Remodelaholic and had to come compliment you on your work. It is stunning!
I saw you on Remodelaholic, and that makeover is a purely stunning!

I was very nervous about using spray paint. My dresser (my first post) was my first time using spray paint on furniture and really there is no easier way to paint furniture! I learned how here… http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/2010/04/painting-furniture-101.html
Thanks for stopping by!
I love this headboard – maybe you would honor with a tutorial on how to make it. Awesome job!!!!
I love when people take something and re-invent it not for it’s intended use. Looks fantastic. Great creativity!
