Inspiration: Shutter Headboard

As I type, James is out in the garage sanding and scraping a pile of old shutters. These old shutters came from a friends’ home that is undergoing some serious renovation. We took a few off their hands, inspired to create our own headboard for the new California King mattress that has made a joyous entrance into the Cart Household. You can read about said joy here.

While James performs the manual labor involved in this project, I’ve been scouring The Internet for inspiration. Here are my favorite finds, plus a “Before” photo of the shutters. We’re going shabby chic with the look and will experiment with varying levels for the different pieces of shutter. Most of the headboards below are level, but I like the idea of creating an arched effect.

Stay tuned for a future DIY Wednesday with the “After” results!
