Knock Knock, who's There? The Headboard REVEAL

I have noticed a trend, I try to post a couple times a week but life gets way too busy to take a moment to snap shots and write, so once a week has become my average. But hey, that is pretty good for a working mom of 3 kids 3 yrs old and under!

Now lets pick up where we left off:

Step #5: Screwing the Head board into the bed frame.

#1. Have your bolts, washers and nuts purchased and ready (make sure they fit through the bed frame notches... ours just barely fit)

#2. Measure first, then drill 2 holes into the 4x4.

#3. Bolt your frame to your 4x4.

Voila! You have your solid wood, under $100, homemade head board that looks like a million bucks! Can you tell it was made out of a door? I can't!

Without the bed made so you can see the FULL head board and the hole where the door nob was, hidden beneath our mattress.
(the finish is really even, for some reason this pic makes it look splotchy)

I used Rustoleum Black, semi gloss, spray paint for the head board (3 coats) and also primed and sprayed my side tables to match.

I added a nice feminine knob to tie in my beautiful lamps.

If you noticed, I did repaint my walls. The blue was just a little much in such a BIG room. I picked Nantucket Dune from Sherwin Williams and I love it! Going neutral on the walls gives me a chance to add pattern and color through fabrics and art.

Now onto the rest of my bedroom makeover......
