In the Meantime..

Just to tie you over until.. Sunday
ENJOY!

I've been meaning to post about this particular project for the longest time

I haven't really gotten around to it until now because well,

.......

I don't have a good reason

BUT

When you see the project I'm more than 80% sure that some, if not most of you will look at it

Scoff, and mumble to yourself

"She got that from Pintrest"

Because well.... I did! 
I do try and follow through with my "re pins"
We'll refer to this one as my

Pintrest challenge

So with the pintrest recognition lets begin!

It all started with

non other

the DI

As do most of my projects

Out in the "yard" I came across 2 sets of white shutters
$20

Took em home..

They collected dust for a good 2 weeks
I'd occasionally sit and stare at them and wonder to myself how I was going to manage to Take on this Pintrest Challenge

Well a warm Saturday in July will show you how:

Pintrest Challenge = Headboard

You'll need:
A few 1x4s

Screws and a screw gun
and of course
Shutters

I don't have step by step pictures so bare with me and let your imagination take you with this one

Step 1: Lay shutters face down on the ground and get exact measurements for each joint

Step 2: Screw a piece of your measured 1x4 in place of each joint seam, enabling the joints to move
roughly shown below

Each arrow indicates each placement we screwed the joints together.

Step 3: Measure the Height you want for your your head board,
Note: its good to measure the height of your bed before

Step 4: for the "feet" of the head board its nothin fancy.. just a pair of 1x4's

They Will Not show.. don't worry

 By this step in the process you're basically finished
It should look a little like:
ThiS!

Minus the Homely looking girl and you've got yourself a beautiful Headboard

Step 5: (optional) Take a hammer n nail and distress the shutters.

and Walla!

We try to look professional but we're the farthest thing from it.

FINISHED PROJECT

!!!Have a Good Weekend!!!
