2 [5] [6] [7] Hi everyone and Happy Monday!!! We have been working hard up at the Momplex last weekend. Did you spend your weekend DIY-ing too? I hope so - there's nothing like a good dose of Vitamin DIY! A while back, my dear friend Brook of Being Brook [8] (I'm sure you already know her and follow her and adore her too - you'd be crazy not too) wrote me asking if I could assist with plans for a headboard resembling a mantel, with lots of moulding. Her inspiration came from the Pottery Barn Addison Headboard. [9] For about 1/5 of the price of the Pottery Barn version, Brook made this!!! Page 2 of 18

7 clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck! Step 1 [20] Start by building a basic frame. This headboard is designed for a queen size. You can alter the size by adding to the width for king, or subtracting from the width for twin and full sizes. Page 7 of 18

When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed. Source URL: Page 16 of 18
