Headboard Makeover

If you are feeling that your room needs a face lift, and don't want to spend a lot of $$, then making a headboard is your best bet. (I think!) I've made 2, and they have really spiced up the room. I spent a total of around $40. Which is NOTHING compared to ones you can buy already made.

The first headboard I made for our room I just did a very simple off-white fabric. Since then I have switched around our bedding. (I'm so indecisive!) Now our bedding is all white. So it was a little boring with the white sheets, pillow and comforter. I notice that the fabric store down the street from us was having a BIG sale. So, Libby and I went and checked it out. Basically I couldn't walk out of that store without some fabric in my hands... It was that good of a deal! So Libby and I decided on a fabric, brought it home and made this in about 20 minutes...

All I did was strip off the white fabric I had on before, and just re-covered it with this fabric. I thought it turned out cute, considering I spend 20 minutes on it! Now I just need to frame some pictures to go over the bed since the painting doesn't match it anymore.
