I was so glad that the sunshine cooperated today, and I was able to photograph my new headboard for you! This barn door headboard was a collaborative effort between me and Matt for my birthday. I’ll give you the full tutorial on how it was made in another tutorial. Today is just about the eye candy!
When I hemmed my stenciled curtains, I had enough fabric left over to create some envelope pillow covers for my bed. I love them!
Over the weekend, I glued some brown ribbon around both lamp shades. It’s such a simple way to add some interest to a boring shade.
Do you see the cute chalkboard below? I just made that today with some unexpected materials. Tutorial to come later this week!
We had this verse in our wedding and I used to have it in vinyl above our bed in our first home. So sweet 
.
I’m not crazy about the ikea dresser in the window but haven’t decided yet what I want to do with it. I’ll probably paint it but not sure yet what color.
And here is my view from the bed. I love my brick wall and my newly distressed dresser.
I still wanted to use the fabric that was previously in my windows so placed it on the side doors of my headboard.
I wish you could see it in person because my pics just don’t quite capture the entire feel of the room. I am in love with it!

Looks great! I love the headboard.
Beth! It turned out gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all the great pics. I especially love the fabric in the panels on the side of the Barn door. Very sweet verse to have next to your bed too. We are gearing up to “redoux” our master bedroom too. I am so ready, but other parts of the house need our attention first. For now, I have to be content with a new Duvet cover, and half of a wall painted the color we settled on! Thanks for sharing!-K
Your bedroom is so beautiful! Love the barn door headboard. When you give the tutorial, please share the wall color.
Finally!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Cute about your husband making for your bday
Is the door part connecting to the long side pieces on each side ( I don’t know what you call them) or did you add them ? Is that fabric inside the squares? Looks cool! Job well done 
That is fabulous!!!
Can’t wait to see the full tutorial on the headboard and that great chalkboard!
Wow. That is simply stunning! I am so envious of you and your beautiful headboard!!!
It looks great Beth, maybe you could paint the ikea piece like the other one? I love the drapery fabric too! You’re good girl!
Debbie
So beautiful! I love your whole room. The headboard mirrors the rustic of the brick wall perfectly. Love, love, love.
I love it, Beth! The fabric in the door adds such a nice touch. Your pillows turned out very nicely; I’m guessing that these are some you mentioned that you actually sewed?
Everything ties together so nicely, even the branch on your nightstand. Sweet dreams in your new bed!
Beth- I LOVE it! Everything looks amazing…it has a rustic, home-y, elegant feel all at the same time
You’re amazing!!
It’s gorgeous! I love how it turned out!
I am in love with it too!!! So unique. So different. So beautiful!!!!
Oh my gosh it’s gorgeous!! What a special space you’ve created. Love, love the headboard!!!
Beth & Matt, this is amazing! Looking forward to the tutorial…
Blessings,
Anna K.
I’ve been waiting for this day! (Not so patiently, mind you!) It’s incredible! Your bed demanded the height of that headboard. It’s perfect. Kudos, my girl! Love it!
Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait until I finally get mine done.
So very pretty Beth. I’m going to pin it.

That is an amazing thing of beauty. It’s taking a regular old door headboard idea and taking it even further. Love it.
holy moly Beth!!! Its wonderful!!! LOVE. And the chalkboard, the curtains, the pillows *sigh* all of it!
Wonderful job Beth! I love the frame with the chalkboard. Fabulous!!
Your pictures are just fine!
It is beautiful. All of it! Where on earth did you get that gorgeous comforter??? I think that might be my favorite part of your room. 
Love it ALL! Now I want to make a new headboard for our bedroom!
Pretty!
It’s just gorgeous!! I’m still particularly in love w/ that mirror!!
I love it! Can’t wait to see it in person!
Wow, your entire room looks amazing! I love every single thing about it!
I vote to paint the dresser red!
Love it….turned out gorgeous!
Love it! So cozy & romantic. What is the name/brand of paint you used on your walls? It is such a soothing color!
Beth!!! Its gorgeous!! I am seriously drooling over that headboard!! I can’t wait to see how you made it!! Every last detail is just beautiful!
Great job Beth! Love all the rustic/handmade touches!
I LOVE the curtains! And so want some just like them for my living room. I can’t remember if you stenciled these or if you bought them somewhere? If you bought them, any chance you would tell me where!
Never mind…I just found it on your blog! Love them and will be doing some soon!! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! I just love them all! Such an inspiration place!
WOW! Just gorgeous! I feel like I should just pack in all my blogging efforts and go home
I love everything about the room!
BETH!!!!!!!!!
it looks wonderful. it makes such a statement.
is that the frame you got a while ago at a FREE sale? i’m thinking i remember it, because i love all that detail.
such a lovely bedroom.
xo
kellie
wait. i should clarify…
the frame around the chalkboard, is that what you got at the sale a while ago? duh. i guess i thought you should be able to read my mind.
can’t wait for the tutorial on the barn door. awesomesauce!

Hi Beth!! LOVE your headboard!! By the way, is your bedspread a bedspread or comforter cover?? LOVE it!! Did you make the matching white pillow or purchase with the cover? Also, I think you should paint your IKEA dresser the same green that is in your flower design above your bed to pull the color out even more
BEAUTIFUL as always!
Thanks Kim! The bedspread is actually a duvet from Anthropologie. The little pillow in front came from Target. And hmmmm on the dresser. No green in that flower pattern. It’s all tans, browns, and creams. Monitors can be silly sometimes, huh?
Your bedroom looks absolutely smashing. I love the juxtaposition of the rustic headboard and the glamorous duvet cover. And all the little details like the chocolate-brown ribbon on the lampshades and the single perfect hydrangea really make a difference. Is that the same brown bedskirt? If so, it must feel like it’s died and gone to heaven. If a bedskirt has feelings, that is.
Gorgeous, Beth. Just gorgeous.
i am looking forward to the tutorial. love this. inspiration for our headboard. thank you!
Beautiful!!
Love the quote too!!
It looks great Beth. And oh, I am so envious of your brick. It looks so pretty. Your whole room looks beautiful.
Hey, Beth!! As usual, I’m so behind in trying to keep up across blogland. I love your headboard makeover, just gorge girl! Your room is so pretty and cozy, I know you are enjoying it all. Those stenciled curtains are the bomb. I just finished a stenciled wall in my sister’s room and now am IN LOVE with stenciling!!

Your curtains are exactly what I’m looking for, so now I’m off to try and find out more about them!
Have a happy new year!!
Love it all. What color are the walls? I MUST know!
Thanks Erin

I LOVE this! Showing it to my friend who is looking for a headboard idea…

Love the curtain/pillow fabric and can’t find the source on your site (although I’m sure it’s here somewhere!). Please share. Thanks! TJ
Thanks! The curtains are just cheap panels from Ikea and I used a stencil and fabric paint to create the pattern. Here is the post and tutorial on it: http://www.homestoriesatoz.com/2011/08/royal-design-studio-stenciled-curtains-knock-off-ballard-designs.html
What an incredibly unique idea for a headboard! I’m also a HUGE fan of brick walls!! The black mirror on the brick wall is stunning!
