I told ya I've been holding out for a cheap headboard...
Well, my waiting paid off! I found this Thomasville headboard on craigslist for 75.00! It is HEAVY. AS. LEAD. It wasn't bad to start with, but I knew it would be better in white...
Before I attacked it with spray paint, it was kind of a maple color:
Remember the bedroom? It was seriously lacking in the headboard department - it definitely NEEDED something...
And this one is exactly what I had in mind. WooHoo!! Perfect.
I'm SOOO happy with it, I could squeal!!
Please excuse the really bad pictures...there was an insane amount of light coming in those windows and it kinda washed out the shots. Once again, my impatience got the best of me...
I decided to participate in Kimba's Do It Yourself Day over at A Soft Place to Land. If you're needing a little inspiration, there's a goldmine of ideas over there!

What a deal Brittany!
Thomasville has amazing quality. Your bedroom is truly gorgeous. LOVE the soft color scheme as well.

Is this your Master Bedroom? It reminds me a lot of mine. I have the Blue Toile also, and you have a lot of inspiration there. The Headboard looks great, and I am so glad I came over to look, because your kitchen is now my inspiration kitchen. My kitchen is red too, with UGLY stained cabinets, WaY worse than what you started with, so I am totally inspired to make mine look a little closer to yours. I have added you to my favorites, so my husband can see. Mine will not end up quite a beautiful as yours , but can't wait to get started. Where did you get your rug? I am in need of 2 new rugs, and I like the way yours looks. I will be back to check out more posts. Your house is beautiful. Jackie
Definitely the perfect piece!! The room came together beautifully.
That was a truly great find! It is beautiful!
Wow! What a great find in that headboard! I love it! You did a great job in the paint too! Can I ask? What is the fabric I see underneath your bedspread? Is it a sheet? I just bought a quilt but i'm looking for ways to make it even more pretty. I love the way your bedding all looks. Very pretty!
Blessings,
Sandra
