DIY – How to make an upholstered headboard

There are so many headboards available you will be spoilt for choice. At the moment we are saving for a house, so I didn’t really want to splash out on something that we will most likely change once we move out. So I decided to upcycle an old headboard I came across a few months ago.

Today is a special day and definitely needs markin Today is a special day and definitely needs marking on the IG ... a new chapter for us starts today as we have officially SOLD OUR HOUSE !!! It’s been a crazy year and why not add a bit more craziness to it by putting a house on the market and selling it within two weeks without a new house to go to ... 😆6 weeks of packing, storing things, cleaning and moving to our temporary home ... we are done for now, absolutely shattered and emotional .. there were a few (a lot of) tears as I walked through the house one last time .. lots of memories already were made there in the last 4,5 years but we will make new ones very soon!!! wish us luck for 2021 so that we can find our dream home and start our new adventure 🏡
