Sometimes you just see an inspiring DIY project and make plans to add on a bedroom to your home, right? Okay, so that’s a little extreme but it is a dream of mine after seeing this gorgeous reclaimed wood-look headboard. Too bad that the 3 beds in our house are a poster bed, a sleigh bed and my daughter’s French provincial. Otherwise, you’d see me making my version of this DIY rustic beauty from Shannon at {AKA} Design.
I even love the super cute burlap banner…
Looks like real barn wood, doesn’t it? Sometimes that’s not always available so Shannon and her husband made their own. They did a pretty realistic job, don’t you think?
It’s a perfect accent to her inspiration board…dreamy bedroom!

There is so much more to see. And what I love about Shannon’s DIY is that they’re not only beautiful and affordable, she makes DIY look easy! Check out her super adorable digital prints too! So sweet!
Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and inspiration, Shannon & Dean. 🙂
Love that headboard & the gorgeous bunting draped over it
Awesome headboard!
So beautiful! I think I'm going to have to put a banner on my headboard now. Great idea…love it!

That headboard is gorgeous! I love that it ISN'T reclaimed wood because sometimes that grosses me out for such close-to-your-face projects. This is sheer perfection.
I love the headboard…and I have a college kid moving out in the fall….oh the possibilities. May have to add a banner to my headboard too. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the rustic headboard they did a great job!! People would spend big bucks for that..so way to go!
Thank you everyone! I agree…reclaimed could have been gross on a bed! 🙂

Hey, Roeshel, I could not for the life of me find a regular e-mail for you. I would like to ask you if you would consider guest posting one day the week of June 12? Awhile ago you made some finials using I think styrofoam and spackle–I wouldn't mind if you updated that… Please let me know what you think. Thank you! Kim
Wow – this is BEAUTIFUL! It inspired me to get on Craigslist right away and start looking for similar materials! Absolutely GORGEOUS – thanks for sharing!
