I can just already tell that if I wait to take my "finished" picture until I remember during daylight hours, my bed is made and I have a camera handy besides the one on my phone....it may not happen. Just know that it's even prettier in real life and in real light. It looks more gray and less oatmeal.
I copied the shape of a jonathon Adler headboard that I love and I found a DIY post on a blog that had copied the same head board. I would definitely recommend the post to anyone making a head board. I used their diagram... Just had to modify because theirs is a queen bed and ours is a king.
So so happy to have this project done!
