My very first big project! My 6 year old daughter was in need of a new bed and a room makeover so I decided to build her a headboard which then turned into a whole new room!!!
I really wanted it to it to have some dimension to it so I added some moldings and a mini shelf to the top of it. I basically just designed it myself, based on what some of the $1000+ pottery barn ones look like and spent hours at the hardware store finding the perfect moldings.
For the main backboard I used plywood, however to keep it light I used a sheet of molding and added a round edge to make it seamless.
My my daughter was so excited Mommy built her whole room.
Estimated Cost
$150 The Moldings added cost but can be made for less than $100 without it. But why would you??? It looks SO much better!!
