Hey friend,

As winter sets in, there's something incredibly cozy about adding some rustic touches to our homes…

And while a fireplace brings warmth, let me share with you something I adore even more for bedroom decor - a Rustic Wooden Headboard!

This farmhouse-style piece is not just elegant…NO!

It changes the entire look and feel of your bedroom…

And today I’m going to share with you the exact steps you can follow to create your own in a matter of minutes,

So let’s start from the beginning…

Materials Needed

1. Wooden Planks or Boards: 4-6 pieces, depending on the desired width of your headboard (commonly about 6 feet wide).

2. Two Vertical Supports: Usually 3-4 feet in length, 2x4 inches (adjustable based on bed size).

3. Wood Screws: 8-12, to secure the planks to the supports.

4. Sandpaper: Medium grit, for smoothing any rough edges.

5. Wood Stain or Paint: Choose a color that complements your bedroom decor.

6. Drill and Drill Bits: For assembling the planks and supports.

7. Saw: If custom cutting of planks is needed.

8. Measuring Tape and Pencil: For precise measurements and markings.

9. Safety Equipment: Gloves, goggles, and masks for your protection.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Wood: Cut the planks and supports to your preferred dimensions. Sand all pieces for a smooth finish.

2. Layout and Measure: Lay out the planks side by side. Mark the positions where the vertical supports will attach, ensuring they are evenly spaced.

3. Drill and Assemble: Drill pilot holes to attach the supports to the back of the planks. Secure with wood screws.

4. Stain or Paint: Once assembled, apply your chosen stain or paint. Let it dry completely.

Final Result

I don’t know about you, but I simply LOVE this.

And that farmhouse vibe…uhh…

Hey, what are you doing still here?!
