Layered Headboard for only $20 | Contributing Article at Houzz

Want to see our new headboard!? Stop by Houzz for the full tutorial! Since we’ll only be in Ohio for 6 months, we wanted something easy, inexpensive, but still a little lux. 

By eliminating wood and foam, we were able to make it for only $20!!

This would be perfect for renters, a dorm room, or anyone who likes to change their mind a lot 🙂

Make sure to stop by!

    Is there anything you can't do? You manage to take inexpensive materials and make them look like a million bucks. Way to go girl! Loving this project!

    Wow! It is STUNNING! I once used insulation board and a similar technique to make a tufted headboard for a rental – but the lines and fabric of yours just really pull off the luxe look so much better! Thanks for the inspiration.
