Fantastic plans - was just talking to husband about wanting a headboard and went to your blog, and there it was! Can't wait to make it - we will make it in the California King size. We have antique furniture in our bedroom and it will look beautiful with it.
My husband and I just got
My husband and I just got home from buying the wood for this project. I think we got a higher grade wood, because it ended up costing us just over $100 for the wood, nails, glue, and other little things. We are planning to get started next weekend.

I was SO happy to find your blog! I am printing the plans for the king size head board RIGHT NOW....because my husband told me too. I am also going to print the plans for the table you have...he's going to make it with two benches and two chairs (gonna have to buy those)...the table and chairs we have are 10 years old. We have 3 kids (with another due in 4 weeks!)and KNOW that it is NOT smart to buy expensive furniture because our kids have not figured out how to treat it properly...or maybe we haven't taught them well enough? Either way...I am so glad you post your plans because I LOVE them and my hubby loves to build!

We made this headboard and we love it!
Here is my tip for construction:
It needs some metal supports added on the back when you build the King Size version, otherwise the center boards flex when you lean up on it to read. I have a photo of the support in this post: http://balancingeverything.com/2010/04/20/we-made-a-headboard/
Thank you for the plans Ana! We love it!
me, too!
Yes, we added three 1x2 supports along the backside, vertical and evenly spaced.
clips
Agreed!
We agree! I used the scrap wood from the cuts to add support. I spaced three 1x3's even across, took two 1x2's and cut them at 45 degree angles and put them across the left and right sides. I also picked up some cheap chair leg leg brackets and supported the legs to prevent side to side movement. Should have took pictures before I wall mounted it. Figured it would last longer on the wall than attached to the bed. http://ana-white.com/2012/08/distressed-wood-headboard

Looking forward to building
Looking forward to building this Headboard, as well as the Stratton Bed. One question...what kind of Pneumatic nailer is needed? Will a brad nailer suffice?
Hi Ana! I just finished this
Hi Ana! I just finished this headboard and it is GORGEOUS!!! The plans were easy to follow and it was built, start to finish, in 2 hours. I admit that my husband measured all the boards for me because, for some reason, I seem to have a major problem getting the measurments right! He was also handy to have around when it came to moving the headboard because it is very heavy. This is the second thing I've built from your site and I'm so grateful to you for all your hard work. Thanks for everything!

I am so happy to have found your website! This bed is stunning and I can't wait to get started on it. I work for an interior designer and am constantly inspired by the pieces I see but I am also a DIYer & love to save money by making things myself! Thanks so much for posting.

Ana, So I'm starting to
Ana, So I'm starting to build the Cal King version, and I think that the shopping list might be incorrect. I think I need NINE 1 x 4s instead of five, just like you would for a standard king, especially since they're 70" and 72". Is this correct?

Just finished this! Well actually my Dad did it but I chose to keep it as light as possible. I might end up painting it but so far I'm loving it. Thank you so much Ana for these wonderful plans!

Plans missing
The plans for the Queen size with the details seem to have gone missing -- when I click on the link to that page, it looks like the link is actually to the old dev site: http://dev.ana-white.com/acquia-drupal-1.2.33/2010/03/plans-mason-headboard-its-all-in-finish.html And I'm getting the following "Not Found" error message: The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server.

Cal-King...Footboard?
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone had attempted a foot board for this Mason headboard? Or if there were any plans for such? My husband is particular to the horizontal lines as opposed to the vertical lines of the Farmhouse...he's a strange one. Thanks for the help!

When to use Kreg Jig on these plans
I was looking over the cut list and the plans for this headboard, and I was looking for the spot in the plans where it calls for the use of the Kreg Jig. It is in the tools list, but I don't see where the actual plans call for it. Just trying to figure everything out before I actually start building. Thanks for you help.

Finish?
I love the finish in this picture! Can you post the steps you used for it? Thanks :) Edit: Nevermind! The comments on Nicole's page give an excellent description of her finish. Thanks anyways! :)

The pictures are great but I have not been able to find any detail about how the pannel trim boards and the pannel boards are assembled. I have the tools I need but would like to know some of the assembly details before I actually begin.

footboard to match?
I am going to try this headboard but would like to buy and build everything at the same time. Does anyone have ideas on how to tweak the plans to make a footboard as well? Thank you!
clips
To make the footboard
you can get rid of two of the 1x6s and two of the 1x4s, which would shorten it by about 18" (depending on the exact widths of the boards). Then take 18" off of the leg height. That would leave you with an approximately 39 1/4" high footboard.
