I'm turning into a DIY'er!!

Well.... at least a "Honey please help me with this project"er!!

Sheldon wanted to get me a headoard for my birthday and I was so excited. Once we got looking at some online, we got to thinking - we could totallymake this!! So here goes.

It's not that the before picture is awful - but sometimes change is good. We'd had our bedding for 10 years (yikes) and the paint color has been the same since we built this house - 7 years ago... so heres before

Before

Thanks to pinterest, I found some really great DIY headboard tutrials, so away we went! The headboard took us 2 hours from start to totally finished - that's because our girl-ies were having a dinner date with Uncle James & Auntie Anna. Thanks J&A! We did the wood section of the wall and the chandelier the next day.

First: cut plywood the size needed for your headboard

Then measure, mark and drill where you want the buttons to be

Then use a spray adhesive and lay foam on the plywood

Next, lay batting and cover the foam, and staple in place. Trim Excess.

Then... do the same with your upholstery, long sides first, then the short sides, corners last.

Then pull your buttons thru and your done!!  Here's the almost-finished project

And .... DONE!!!
