She was going with gray and yellow, and had pinned this great headboard. (Not quite sure of the source... Pinterest sucks at that sometimes!)
So my sister and I decided to recreate it!
I didn't take pictures while I was building (oooops! fail!) but it really is fairly simple.
I bought 4-1x8s (6 feet long) and 2-2x4s (stud length) from Lowe's. I cut the 1x8s at 60 inches, and the 2x4s at 56". Then I just screwed the 1x8s to the 2x4s. It doesn't have to be perfect, in fact it will probably look silly if it is perfect! (At least that's what I keep telling myself!)
I stained it walnut, and the I sent yellow paint with my sister-in-law and made her paint the "love" herself. I really meant to do it, but I ran out of time! Here's a picture of how it looks in their room! Yay!
