I am so pleased to share this post.
If you have been following me you might remember that I purchased some great fabric this summer at a garage sale for a great deal. I have been waiting for just the right thing to make.
I saw on a design show how they made an upholstered headboard and I thought it looked like an easy inexpensive way to transform a bedroom. Plus, our bedroom is the one room in the house that has gotten little to no decorative attention.
Walla, I made an upholstered headboard yesterday!
Trouble came when we went to hang it. First set of mounts were too specific giving no room for error and that resulted in frustration. Second set of mounts did not hold the weight and bent immediately, we got fiesty! Third attempt was to not mount it but to put legs on it instead. This method is the one you are looking at.
By the way, I put both sets of mounting hardware that failed into plastic bags and returned them to Home Depot and they gave me my money back! I was impressed. Thanks HD it really took some of the frustration away as I was there for a 3rd time to accomplish 1 task.
