Pinterest has been fueling me with DIY
projects that I want to re-create for a long time now.
I felt our bedroom was in need of a
statement piece of furniture and I've become so interested with up cycling pallets
so I decided to make a headboard for our bedroom.
Joe, my amazing other half, could luckily
get hold of some pallets and came home with 3, ready to start our project.
All 3 together
are about 6 foot long.
Joe did all the handy work and assembled
them all together (I wasn't around when he did this, so no pictures - sorry!).
He attached some legs to it to help support the weight, sanded it down and
added a clear varnish.
Once it was finished and in the bedroom,
he attached it to the wall and surprised me when I got home from work.
It was safe to say, I was definitely
surprised because it looked HUGE! It took some getting used too but now I
absolutely love it and the fact that it was free to make, makes me even
happier! :D
Have you ever upcycled anything? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to see!

ReplyDeleteThanks! x
DeleteI love that, what a great idea! I've just started trying to get to grips with upcycling, but have only made things for the garden so far (a cold, frame, mini greenhouse, and some planters from an old bed base)
ReplyDeleteThanks! That sounds really good! x
