Pinterest Headboard!

I wanted a headboard for the basement bedroom, but really did not have a ton of walkway room at the end of the bed, so I looked to Pinterest and found a great idea!  

I started with five 1 x 6 boards and had Brian cut them down to the width of the bed.  Home Depot actually had beetle kill pine wood that was even grooved to be interlocking.  Perfect!  

I did two coats of stain.  I choose Espresso.  No sanding or anything!  

Then we hung them on the wall using Command Strips that are made to hold 16 lbs.  Seriously, so easy!

Voila!  

Just a crazy story about the bedding.  I had my eye on a duvet cover set from Ikea that was white with lots of green, gold and red.  My friend Amy headed to Ikea with me and when she saw the bedding, she told me it was not my style and we needed to keep looking (love my honest friend!!)  So on we went.  I found the duvet you see the end of the bed.  As we kept looking around, we saw the brown bedding you see and thought it would look so pretty layered on the bed, so in the cart it went.   I was so excited!  Then we went to get the kids some ice cream and I told her what I was doing for my headboard and pulled up a picture on my pinterest.  Here is the picture:

Yes, I seriously, had unknowingly picked the same bedding!!!  No where does it say the bedding is from Ikea, nor had I really paid much attention to it as I was mostly concerned with the headboard.  So crazy!!
