Hi folks. I've decided I love upholstered headboards with nailhead trim. I mean, who doesn't? I've been especially keen on the serena and lily "octavia version."
BUT tell me when in my life am I gonna have $1900 sitting around to purchase and ship this out to me?
I've seen many a DIY project of some sweet headboards, and I wonder if this is one I could attempt. Those Greek Key corners of nailhead will probably be a b**** to hammer in there, but I love the look dangit!
Anyhow, here's some awesome handmade headboards that rock my world.
Oh my word I love this. The HEIGHT on this thing is crazy awesome, and it looks custom made- by a professional. Not by someone like me who tends to get lazy and cut corners.

Love this simplicity yet sophistication. And the double rows of nailhead is awesome

This regency-style headboard is not homemade, but from Overstock & it's a pretty good deal. Comes in several fabric choices and a queen is $277. Not too shabby. I'd almost want to paint the wood white, don't you think?
What amazing finds! We are huge fans of the nailhead headdboards... infact Jackie and I both have the Carlton headboard from JCPenney. I love the DIY inspiration... what I would do for more rooms in our home!
