DIY Headboard

Many moons ago I came across these bad boys.  The bishop from our ward in Uvalde agreed to let us borrow his trailer for a move from Uvalde to Sabinal if we wouldn't mind dumping the load he had on it.  Of course! These beauties were on it, and when I saw them I made Brock put them aside for us.  Aren't they beautiful??  I had been having thoughts of doing our own homemade headboard for a while, and when I saw these I knew that they would be perfect!  Well, they sat around our house for FOREVER until I finally decided that I needed a project.  So I started on them thinking that I would be able to do it all on my own. Haha!!!!  Then we ended up moving to Hondo where they once again just got put away to be forgotten.  Until the glorious day when football season ended and my husband decided that he was bored too and needed a project.  So we pulled them out and yeah...Brock did pretty much all of the work! :) Thank goodness because I would have totally screwed it up!  We have actually had this finished for almost a year, but I finally took a picture here in our new house to show y'all.  So here is the finished project that I am super proud of...

For the first time in my life I am super excited to make the bed in the morning because I just love how beautiful it looks with this awesome headboard!  We also did a matching nightstand and mirror to go with it.  Yay!!!!  

And in case you are wondering... chalky finish paint, distressed.
