Nana's Day - Head board

I haven't post any thing about Nana's master suite lately, 

but I have a few posts lined up.  

So today I thought I'd show ya her headboard we made.  

She didn't have a headboard at all. 

  She requested a padded one, cause she likes to sit up and read or watch TV in bed.  

We started with a piece of plywood.  

We had it cut to the basic size at Lowe's when we bought it.  

There were a lot of square lines in the room already so I suggested we make the headboard curved.  We used this very fancy tool to get our curved lines.  

(Yes, that is a tennis racket we traced.)

 

Next we just cut it out with a jig saw.

Here she is all cut out.

High density foam is quite pricey,

 so we opted for a foam bed pad she already had.  

We just doubled it.  

(See picture below)

We wrapped the foam and stapled it and then the material.

Simple!!! 

 I was really hoping for some nail head trim or tufting,

 but was out voted by my sister and Nana.

Next we added a cleat across the top and wood blocks at the bottom for spacers. 

Here's the Before.

And After.

Next I'll post about the nightstands and then the whole finished bedroom.  

Have a good one.
