This weekend, Erin and I managed to accomplish more in one naptime than we have in the last two years. I have been wanting a headboard since I graduated from college. It's not like they are overly expensive but it gets low on the priority pole when kids come around. After a couple weeks of convincing, we set out as a family to get our supplies. We followed this tutorial.
Overall this project cost about $110. It could be so much cheaper if you picked an inexpensive fabric. I picked decorator fabric which usually runs a pretty penny, even if you have a Joann's coupon. This literally took us one naptime (2.5 hours) to complete from start to finish. The trickiest part was cutting the boards and screwing them into the back of the headboard.

I just popped over from Lindsay's blog to take a look... fabulous!! I like that it seems to be just a tad wider than the bed width. (Could be an optical illusion!)Thanks for the example without the frame. Love it!
also "popped over" from lindsay's blog to check out your version--looks great!
did you use a door also? if so, how did you end up attaching the door to the legs? i'm having some trouble...
thanks!
Lauren, yes we used a door for ours and we used 1x4 or 1x3 and bolted it onto the backside of the door and frame. I wish I was at home so I could take a picture for you but am not. Sorry!
