Step 2: Assemble friends. You don’t need more than one person to do this and you definitely don’t need three, especially when you only own one staple gun but DIY with friends is more fun. Especially if wine and goss’ is involved. It looks like a lot is left, but most of those tasks shouldn’t take too long. I’m hoping to have the walls primed and the wallpaper up for next week, but we shall see! Then there’s one more week to get things done before the final reveal. My plan is to figure out all those little things that last week, then get the paint when stores open just before the reveal. Emily Bowser here with the DIY headboard how-to I promised in the reveal of my bedroom from earlier today. This is what I’m calling “A guide for the person who poses as a DIYer but whatever, it gets the job done.” Enjoy, and let me know if you need any clarity or have questions in the comments. Prep:
Because there wasn’t much fabric to work with, I only wrapped the bare minimum of what I would need. The process is the same as installing the batting, I just used about double the staples ha :) Storage & organisation Furniture Textiles Kitchenware & tableware Kitchens Lighting Decoration Rugs, mats & flooring Beds & mattresses Baby & children Smart home Bathroom products Laundry & cleaning Plants & plant pots Home electronics Home improvement Outdoor living Food & beverages Christmas Shop Shop by room Again, ask away in the comments if you need some clarification on anything. Thanks for following along friends. Don’t miss other posts in this series: This was because I was “mounting” the headboards directly behind the mattress, sitting on the bed frame. I didn’t want the foam taking up space (and definitely didn’t have enough fabric to go all the wall across).When one headboard just won't do, why not build up and around it with padded panels to create a plush wall that screams luxury? This look is perfect for grey bedrooms. I’m reworking our oldest two kids’ shared bedroom for the Spring One Room Challenge. This season is a special 8-week event, and in the first week, I introduced the design plan, then talked about how to easily measure and plan a room. In week 3 I dove into the wall treatment details, and last week was all about the closet nook. We only have a couple of weeks to transform this space!
Remember: they’re going to be painted a rusty red colour to match the curtains, so this room will look a lot different! Yes, you can put a headboard on an existing bed frame. Although traditionally it is easier to attach a headboard to a bed frame of a similar size, it is also possible to fit an oversized headboard to the wall behind the bed. What is the reason for a headboard? The main thing that was holding me up for the headboards was getting fabric. I ended up finding a local store that did curbside, so I made an appointment and brought a painted paper in the colour I wanted. It probably took a bit longer, but I couldn’t wait the weeks we have until stores open up here again. DIY Headboard: Cutting WoodThe cleats have multiple areas where you can attach screws and basically SOMEWHERE on that cleat will line up with a stud. At least if your panels are as wide as mine where (studs are typically 16 or 24 inches apart). This way you don’t have to mess with anchors and you know that headboard will adhere to the wall FOREVER. Attach the wall side of the cleat to the wall at the determined measurement from the floor. (Note: cleats will come with all the hanging things.) And here’s another fun comparison of how I set it up for the photos, vs. how Zachary “likes it”. Well, not sure about the yellow pillow since last night was the first time they used them. Step 3: Attach the other side of the cleat to the panel so that when you connect the two pieces of the cleat, the panel will sit where you want it. I learned after the first panel that I should do it a bit lower so I didn’t have to be all up in Erik’s over-stapled upholstery situation. So for me, every cleat was in a different spot. Again, it doesn’t matter where the cleats are, just that once they are connected, wall to panel, they hang at the same height as each other. If you go with non-spray glue, just be sure to spread it so that it’s a nice thin layer as opposed to glops.
Worked on the headboards (cut and attached foam, stapled batting and fabric, installed in the room) Finding home furniture that you love and fits the aesthetic you're looking for just got easier. ShopStyle has brought in some of the top home and living brands and home decor ideas to help you mix things up a little— or completely redesign your living room, bedroom, outdoor patio, kitchen, and any other space you can think of! At this point, you’ve all collectively done like 10 minutes of work and 3 hours of waiting for things at Home Depot and Joann’s. But you are all FINISHED (wine may be a factor). We leaned the pieces of upholstered panels against the wall and shoved all the furniture against it and were V proud of ourselves. We all said at the same time that maybe it never needed to be attached to the wall after all? Probably just to make ourselves feel better about basically lollygagging through the day.

Step 3: Lay batting on floor, place plywood piece on top, roughly cut it 2-3 inches bigger than the plywood and watch Erik staple it around all the edges. Note: I invested in a plug-in stapler years ago and have NEVER regretted it. I had a few little pieces of off-cuts from my angled sections, and I used them to cover the exposed wood section. It looks so good right!?
