A modern touch to a bedroom.
If you couldn't make our first every (but definitely not the last . . . ) Buildaholics Party last night, here's some of the highlights
- Parson or slipper chair is a priority
- More beds in adult styles/sizes
- I'm not the only one who tiptoes around the tablesaw
- Circular saw isn't much better
- And we should do it again!
And photos too!
What do you think of @craftconniptions Toddler Farmhouse Beds?
And as promised, one lucky attendee gets to go home with a $50 Lowe's gift card. Drawn at random (wow, I'm chatty, drew myself three times first!) our winner is . . .
Thanks ThisDIYLife, you have won our door prize!
For everyone else, you can see the complete party conversation here, and stay tuned, we'll be doing that again!
And because you asked for more adult beds, thought I would post one that you can make for about $15 in lumber - or at least under $20, that will make a huge impact in your bedroom. No fancy bedding required with this headboard!
Especially if you choose a color. Just throw some white bedding on, and instant chic style without the cost! See how West Elm styles their overlapping square headboard here.
I love how West Elm choose a dark stain on a bright wall with white bedding. A blah bedroom can go to chic style with some paint, this headboard, and some white bedding.

May be a silly question
Do you just attach this headboard to a metal frame? Or could you build a frame similar to the farmhouse bed one?

Headboard
You are so specific and I love it. I just got a new mattress and have been searching for the perfect headboard. I've seen some of similar to these in furniture stores, but you're so detailed that I want to just give it a shot myself (probably with some male supervision :) haha). I'm glad I people have included pictures so I can see how great it really looks. Is there a certain type of paint or stain you think would work best for a headboard?

King bed plan?
If you were able to modify plans for a king bed, I'd love to have a copy of the plans. Thanks!

Type of nails/screws
What type of nails/screws did you use? And did you use a hammer or drill?
Looks beautiful! Can't wait to try! Also, how much did you spend on the lumber?

Twin size
Can this headboard design work for a twin size bed? If so, does anyone have the dimensions needed? Thanks!
