For the past year, DH and I couldn't decide what headboard we wanted to buy because they were either more money than we were willing to spend or not our style. So, we finally decided to just make our own headboard! We love it and had a blast making it together. I even wrote a blog post about it (see blog link below).
In total, we spent $83.16 after tax. Most of the headboards we looked at cost between $180-$700.

Project Start: Getting the first boards up were the most difficult because they had to be leveled.

My husband working his magic with ensuring everything is straight and even.

So close to completion…
