Well, since we have moved, I decided that all the kids got new bed frames, why couldn't I. Then I realized I was just too freakin cheap, and didn't want to spend the kind of money you would on a King size headboard/foot board and all that. So I thought to myself, what could I do to dress up a king size mattress and box spring on the floor, but do it on the cheap. Well here is the start....
I started with this...
And ended up with this...
And now I'm just waiting for my wall quote to go above it. Once that gets here, I will post the final project. I also have enough material to make a bunch of different sized throw pillows for the bed to tie in some sort of a comforter. I did all of this for under $130.00, where as normally for this type of tufted headboard in King size your looking at a whole heck of a lot more. I'd say it turned out pretty well for my first stab at making something on this scale. The thing that took the most amount of time was covering the matching buttons, and tufting it. Other than this it was a breeze. Total time it took me...hmmm about 3 good solid hours. Not too shabby, not too shabby.
