Headboard Shelf Reveal

I am so excited to show you my latest project.

A headboard shelf.  

When we purchased a king size bed three years ago I just couldn't bring myself to spend oodles of money on an overpriced headboard. 

After three years of waiting, it was time to do something about it.  I drew out a plan, purchased supplies and went to work.

Now, instead of a big blank wall staring at me every time I walk into the room . . .

I have a beautiful headboard shelf to fill up with all my current favorites. 

The shelf really helps bring the whole room together.

I added moulding to give it some detail.

And slightly distressed the finish.

Figuring out what to place on the shelf was by far the most difficult part of the project.

I tried arrangement after arrangement and finally came up with something that I liked.

The print is from Ikea that I picked up a few years back - - still a summer favorite. 

The small frame I painted and distressed by scraping the topcoat off with a paint scraper - love it.

And since I'm a girl who likes balance, I made another small frame in the same fashion.

Have a great day!
