Big girl headboard!

As we are renovating O's new room, we are also trying to transition her from her crib to a twin size bed. So far she's done ok with her toddler bed, but we've still got a long way to go before she's ready for her BIG big girl bed (twin size vs. toddler size). My grandmother was getting rid of a twin size headboard - which was perfect because the one I had bought at a second hand store was actually for a full size bed. Anyway, she mentionned she had always wanted to cover it in fabric! I LOVED THE IDEA! It is the perfect shape for recovering! So, last week I went to Fabricland with my mom to see if we could come accross something nice to recover O's headboard with! We were in luck! We came accross a fabric that was meant for the outdoors, but could also be used indoors. I took home some samples and sure enough it worked very well with the curtains I had made for her in our previous home.

So covering the headboard with foam and batter using staples to keep them in place, we then recovered it with this beautiful floral print fabric! It turned out fantastic!!

Check it out!!

I paticularly liked the curves on the top of the headboard and definitely wanted them to show once the fabric was on. We had to pull quite a bit to accent the lower part of the curves and we put a huge amount of staples... but it worked!

I intend on going to purchase the match to this fabric which is a nice striped fabric in the same colors to make her duvet cover!
