Inspo + Direction

I fell in love with a headboard I found on Houzz that was priced over $1,500. I knew I wanted to build it myself but I had never built a headboard to this scale before. Several headboards from Ana's site helped give me direction and this is what I ended up with. My husband and I build furniture for a living, so we had plenty of lumber around to put most of the body together, but we don't often work with trim in such fine detail, so that added significantly to the cost (and time) invested. If I had to guess though, the headboard as we built it was probably around $125.
