Chic Cottage
I need some idea's for making a headboard. My room is Shabby Chic/Cottage style?
Well I recently made one for my daughter that turned out really cool, and could be done certain ways to make it look really neat. Take a single 4 x 8 sheet of plywood and cut it at the 5 foot length into a 5 x 4 piece and a 3 x 4 piece. On eht larger piece you can paint or stain it to match the look you like. On the the smaller piece you will put padidng and fabric. The way to connect them is to drill holes through both pieces on the smaller piece and on the side you will cover you hammer in these flat nut/washer things. I never remember what they are called, but they are flat on one side with little wdges on the outer edge that dig into the wood. The center of them has a sleeve that fits into the hole and is threaded on the inside. What happens is you hammer that into the wood, and when you are ready to connect the two pieces you put the bolts through the back side of the larger piece of wood, and tighten it up.
Anyway on the smaller piece of wood you put your padding and fabric and that way you can have a comfortable backrest. Then to hang it on the wall you use a flush style mounting that is easy to use and can hold a lot of weight. For the edges you use a simple molding in order to cover the edge of the wood. It is a day project (unless you stain) and makes a world of difference.
