Headboard Made From A Shade!
I got an email of a reader who used our headboard tutorial 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 FAVORITE DIY blogs Remodelaholic 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 budget! Remodelaholic to the rescue! I used her headboard tutorial 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! |

My opinion? I LOVE it!
I think she did a beautiful job,… and I love the red! Stunning!
Doesn’t this just inspire you!

>It is an amazing transformation! What was the total cost?
>Whoa, that is gorgeous!
>I absolutely love the red! It's gorg!
>Just WOW!!!
>I love the shiny red! I think your hubby Craig did a nice job and you had a brilliant idea. The headboard looks great. I agree with you that the bedding looks a little sad but just put some bright cheery linens on it and it will look just perfect.
