Upholstered Nailhead Trim Headboard

February 18, 2014 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I moved into my new house over two and a half years ago and I FINALLY have a headboard! I was originally planning on making my own upholstered headboard since I’ve seen lots of tutorials on how to do so (I even purchased the fabric already) but I just never got around to it. I was doing some online window shopping a couple weeks ago and came across the perfect headboard…it was gray, it was sophisticated, it was upholstered, it had nail head trim, and it was affordable!

It’s the Palermo Wingback Headboard from Target! They also sell the entire bed with upholstered side and foot boards but I want room for under bed storage so I just ordered the headboard (which was on sale)!

 Once it arrived, I had it out of the box, assembled, and in place all by myself in a matter of 20 minutes! I was worried that the headboard would be too short because my bed frame is 14 inches off the floor and then I have both a box spring and a mattress on top. However, it turned out to be the perfect height!

 I really love the nailhead trim detail and the fact that it has ‘wings’…
these details make the headboard look far more expensive than it is!

After propping pillows on the wall for two years, it amazing how much more finished the room looks with an actual headboard. I really love it!! Tax return funds were put to good use!

For more information about the wall color in the room as well as the silver metallic stencil, I wrote a post all about it here!

    I just {finally} bought a headboard for our bed, and this is the one I almost bought!!!! I LOVE it!!!! :O) It is gorgeous! I ended up opting for a vintage look iron bed from amazon {that I LOVE}, but so glad to see how this one looks in real life and that you are so happy with it. You made a great choice! :O) BTW….I love your blog! -Susan

Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA Had the nicest little getaway to Chincateague, VA for a friend’s birthday and fell in love with the sweetest little barrier island town. We stayed @keywestcottages, shopped and dined at many locally owned places (highly recommend Island Creamery for the best homemade ice cream), and we even spotted some of the infamous wild ponies at Chincateague National Wildlife Refuge. On the drive home we did some antiquing and popped into Cape Charles (another darling little town) for lunch. I would love to take C back one day because it’s is a pretty family friend town as well. Such a sweet spot for a long weekend getaway!
Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeli Please meet the newest member of of family- Emmeline, aka “Emmie”! We found her after visiting several local shelters and are happy to report that she is settling in well. She’s super sweet & affectionate…C is smitten! 🥰
Sometimes you just have to drop everything and giv Sometimes you just have to drop everything and give something a makeover, am I right?! 🤣☺️ C has a little craft table in our living room so I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect cabinet to corral all her art supplies and some toys she frequently plays with…I finally found the perfect piece for $50 on FB Marketplace! We (yes, C helped 🥰) painted it in a matte finish paint in the @sherwinwilliams color Monorail Silver, the perfect blue-gray shade I was hoping for. After it was dry, I took some sand paper to the edges to give it a more vintage feel and also swapped out the knob. Now, time to organize and fill those baskets! 🧺
We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
