I've been swamped with events for VH1 Save The Music and have been lax on my posts, but I did manage to finish my headboard project last week! Instructions on how I upholstered my headboard can be found below and tomorrow I'll share with you how to apply nailhead trim.
My brother-in-law is a very talented contractor who owns Level Home Improvements
and cut the headboard design out for me!
I purchased a mattress topper (like the egg crates we used to get in college) from
Bed Bath & Beyond for the cushioning.
Cut the excess padding around the shape of the headboard.
Then wrapped my West Elm upholstery fabric around the padding,
using a staple gun to fasten it to the board.
Here's the finished product before applying the nailhead trim -
will send final steps tomorrow!
