but just in case you haven’t, this is the step-by-step on how I did mine.
Yea. Not so much.
When I got the hanger out of the package and saw
that my batting was thicker than the depth of the hook.
Let’s just say, well played hook. Well played.
So instead I decided to just place a couple screws into studs
and attach two hangers to the back of the headboard.
And voila’…
I think this color of fabric compliments the room. Don’t you?
I thought about going a dark navy that matched
the bed skirt and the wall color.
My hubby said this fabric actually looked ‘ocean like’ so he preferred it.
Here’s a sneak peak of the whole bed so far…
This area of his room is still not finished though,
I will be adding some swing-arm lamps above the headboard later this week.
Oh, and I still have another project to finish.
Hope to show that to ya on Thursday. 🙂
So have you ever made you own custom headboard?
Do you like the blue fabric or do you think a dark navy would look better?
I don’t know why fabric intimidates me so.
If you know the answer to that, please tell me! 🙂

I’ve covered existing headboards with fresh fabric over the years but never started from scratch like this. I love the fabric choice, but darker navy would have worked great too.
My guess is that fabric intimidates you as there is so much choice but when you have a very specific look in mind it’s hard to find exactly the right stuff. It’s like there is too much choice and not enough at the same time! At least that’s what I find!

I love how the headboard turned it out. It looks great between the built ins. Thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.

I love homemade headboards. They’re so original and can be modified with ease if the room decor changes.
