Modern Queen Headboard

I built this headboard using the Outdoor Canopy Daybed plans for the sides. You could do it either way using the sides or back. I did modify it a little; had to make it 60" wide and 30" tall, then I just added 22" tall legs to get the height I wanted. Over all dimensions are a simple 60" wide X 52" tall. This one is made with 1 x 4's I had left over from a closet tear out project. It didn't cost me one single penny! I had the paint left over from another project. I simply squared it up with the top and bottom boards and then laid in the rest. For a more modern look I began board spacing at 3/4" then went to 1" on the next, 1 1/2" and so on... I loved building this. I have gone without a headboard for 2 long years. I was waiting for one to catch my eye, and it never happened, Until I found this site. Ana you have inspired me to take charge of my own home again. For years I'd study the "wishbooks" from Crate & Barrel and Pottery Barn drooling over what I wish I could afford. You have made it possible for EVERYONE to have the home they've always wanted. You have also inspired people to actually put forth effort for what they desire and to work for that goal. You are a God-send. Thank You so much!!!

P.S. I also built a Toddler Bed and will be posting it as well.
