Upholstered Headboard With Nailhead Trim And A DIY Start....

My new headboard showed up!

I stole this mirror from here
and shacked it up above the new bed.

I also dug out my Belgian linen panels from the Restoration Hardware Outlet in Dawsonville, GA and used them in here.  They are really heavy and beautiful but are sadly only 96 inches in my uber tall home, so this was the only room I could pull it off!

My hubs and I are also on our 7th can of white semi gloss spray paint in the midst of this little DIY.

St. John stained while I sprayed.  
Um, is it over yet?  
It's not.  Maybe tomorrow.  
Stay tuned.

  1. Love the new headboard! Can't wait to see the dresser finished (I bet you can't either!). I do love the mirror above the bed.

  5. I love that mirror. Can I steal it from you since you stole it from that other room? That's the same right?

  6. I'm doing the same ikea hack to go as bedside tables in my guest room. Planning an upholstered headboard, too. Use oil paint. Two thin coats and you're done. It seriously didn't even look like I used any of the paint in the can. If you're set on spray paint, prime, use white and then buy clear gloss coat. You can get it at Joanne's. I used it to repaint a ceramic garden stool that I still wanted glossy.

  12. Your headboard is so pretty...can I ask where you got it from? You nightstands are looking good. I love Ikea stuff, but gosh it can be a pain in the you know what to put together and paint. We purchased 2 unfinished bunk beds for our bonus room and we had to put them together and paint them...not fun!
