Shabby Headboard Heaven

After months of looking for the perfect headboard, I stumbled across one, literally, at a yard sale.   On my way to check out a small lamp I had spotted, I tripped over a headboard in my haste.    Guess you could say I was head over heels in love with it at first sight!

The faux shutter-look headboard had good bones.    It was a sturdy oak that had been painted blue.   I saw potential!   For the low price of $10.00 that headboard came home with me.  

Usually my hubby rolls his eyes in my direction when I bring stuff home from yard sales and then promptly asks me where I am going to put it, but this time was different!   He knew with a little bit of TLC, it would be perfect for our coastal themed bedroom!

The shutters were a booger to paint but I persevered. After a couple of coats of Décor White by Behr, I shabbied it up a bit.

My wonderfully talented and always willing to help hubby built some legs for it and now it graces the head of our bed and I couldn’t be happier!

By the way, Paula Deen has a shuttered headboard in her home furnishings collection and it doesn’t cost $10.00!!!

Thank you for visiting today!

Peace and blessings,
