Headboard Tutorial @ East Coast Creative!

Today, I’m back at East Coast Creative sharing about how we made our custom headboard! Make sure to stop by and take a look!

Only a few of my photos turned out since we did a lot of this at night (and the lighting is low there), so I made a few diagrams instead, please let me know if you have any questions!

I also shared a source list in case you were interested!

Hope you have a great weekend! I think we’ll be relaxing and maybe a little cleaning (the house is a mess!!) I’ll be instagramming along the way, if you’d like to follow I’m @ sarahmdorseydesigns. Although, we’ve been dieing to finish the Eames chairs (it’s only been since like Halloween!)… so maybe we’ll work on that too!

      Thanks so much! I stayed up late the night before deciding what pillows to use, and then quickly DIYed them that morning! 🙂

    What a stunning bedroom!! I just love your bedding – the mix of colors and patterns. It's gorgeous! You've convinced me that I need to add more layers to our beds.

    Hi Sarah,

    I've decided I'm going to attempt to recreate the headboard. I have read the tutorial several times but I just cant seem to figure out the last set of instructions. When I'm wrapping the fabric around the arms do I need to cut and fold in the fabric and stable, then cut a strip the height of the arm, tuck in excess fabric, iron and then use heat and bond to affix the strip over the top? Also are the 1×3 facing the wall or the bed? I don't have a blogger account so I will leave my email below or you can simply leave a reply in the comments. Thanks!
