Love love love that headboard!

beautiful…all of it.

Great Job! Congratulations!

At first when you said insulation.....I was like...What? lol :) Then realized it was boards. :) I think it's absolutely genius!!! Glad you're happy and proud....you should be ....you did great! Enjoy it! :)

Wow, you are one smart lady. This is most impressive. I want those lamps!

Love the comforter! Where did you find it? And headboard is really nice too.

How did you achieve the stitching and tufting?

Awesome man..

Where did you find the step-by-step instructions to achieve this look? If there isn't any, can you post them? This is so awesome!!!

Beautiful & Job Well Done!

Fantastic!

What are your wall measurements?

Excellent job. You would never know it was not the $5000 bed. Good job with the button tufting. Very professional.

I have seen other variations of this type of headboard, previously; your version is quite impressive! Great job!

Solution simple et jolie

Bravo!!! very inspiring and it looks so professionally designed, I love it ;))

How did you do the floating nightstands. Is the brown part of the headboard or is it painted wall with the white frame being wood

I'm booking marking this and going to Home Depot. WOW and BEAUTIFUL

Looks Great! Very impressive!

Not to be difficult but you actually painted the button details and depth of the quilting w paint?

Sorry but it's out of scale and proportion.....perhaps you can get a king size bed....this one is vpbeing swallowed up....What you could also do is paint the wall that shows, the same color as the frame and it would look more cohesive....

I think the proportions look exactly as your inspiration picture. At this point it doesn't look like you could even fit a larger bed in between the nightstands as some have suggested. I think the only thing I would do is purchase two larger sized lamps to put on either side of the bed like the inspiration pictures have.

it's not a headboard, it's a wall and quite a showstopper at that! congratulations on a beautiful job and all that extra money you have in your wallet. which you do not need to spend on a king sized bed.

@S1C2: I absolutely *LOVE* what you did- kudos to you for challenging yourself to replicate the look. You did a fabulous job! One question: Did you put some sort of filler piece where the padded squares met? i.e. At the centre of the "X"

Great work, what a fun, mostly diy project. The bed looks spectacular

congratulations!

Like it:)

This looks fantastic and very custom. Well done making your very own unique piece!

Still would like to know if you painted the diamond pattern and button tufting, and how you created the relief look???

We all would like to know.

I believe.... don't quote me.... that they are insulation boards wrapped with batting and then material applied over it. Can't help on the button aspect. Some use hot glue? :)

Good for you and good job!!! I can appreciate the savings!!! Last year, I bought a regularly priced $3,000 walnut bed for $425 at an Interior Design store's going out of business sale! Us regular folks appreciate beauty and quality also!

Great job

very creative!! great job!

Hi---I'm certain the buttons were individually covered with the fabric, and threaded through the backside---when the thread is pulled taut the batting/fabric is pulled inward (stressed), thus creating a dimensional look. At least that's how I've seen it done. There are several tutorials on how to do tufting, etc. Here's a couple for those who are interested. :)

Natalie, I'm not sure because she attached the squares to the wall with Velcro. Maybe she'll return with a full how-to? Lol :)

Perhaps just sewn on from the front. Not too difficult to achieve the tufted look sewn on, but then again, I sew/seamtress. :) You are too---yes, ZaZ?

Yeah Natalie, mostly holes....in whoever's clothes! LOL ;)

LOL! I think whatever her method/technique she did here, is just FABULOUS! It's a show-stopper for sure. :)

Wow! Stunning. Wish you had don't a DIY walkthrough of your process!

Thanks Natalie, we will get to the bottom of this:)

Smart and Stunning! - Janis, GKB
