Our handmade headboard

We finally finished our headboard, it took us months, but we did it finally

Over the last year I have been searching for headboard, but of course I cannot afford anything that I like and I just have to make my own one, and since I am not creative and 'craftive' enough, I can only made some simply design. 

This is how we started, we went to get 4 plywood from one of those home improvement stores (it has been that long I don't even remember which one), and some long wood sticks, it cost us about $30  for all that. Albert put them together in our living room, yes, we only live in an apartment we have no garage. 

Then I went to JoAnn and got some foam which cost about another $20, we didn't really measured the board, we just go for those 4 boards, even we measured, we have no where to cut it. However from the foam I purchased, it is just less than 3 yards.

Then we spent another few weeks to decide which fabric, I have a Waverly one, but I got it from our local JoAnn, and they discontinue that fabric so I have to pick something else. Another week gone, I wanted to do grey and yellow stripes, but Albert said no, so at the end we gone for...

Navy Blue and white, I did 2 white and 2 blue and sew them together, all these only cost me $15 (3 yards white and 3 yards blue)

This is the bedroom before 

and now

I love it

We also change our window shade to curtain, I bought 2 panels from Target when they were on sale, $15 each.
