This workshop walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.
I got an email of a reader who used our headboard walkthrough for one of her own. I really love the way it looks. So I asked Mallory of Classy Clutter if I could show off here fabulous handy work. (And I have to say, thanks Mallory for your sweet compliments!) Here is what she had to say:
Well, I was browsing one of my go-to Handmade blogs Bekob and found that I was having the same issue with wanting a new/cute headboard! I couldn’t find anything I lovedthat wouldn’t blow my modest-cost! Bekob to the rescue! I used her headboard walkthrough 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! |

Everything all put together I used Krylon Cherry Red (I love Krylon spray paint!) After the first couple coats of paintclose-up of the shutter The final product! I love the red on the white wall since the landlords don’t want us to paint… (My pillows look a little sad and droopy! Time for new fluffier pillows!) What do you think? |
