Eli's Beech Room

This is Eli's beech room.  His desk is an antique.  The bed and armoire I made there are separate blogs for the bed and armoire.  Eli's nursery was always a beech theme.  We just added a desk to replace his changing table and his big boy day bed.  The bed is made from a door and I love how its so low to the ground.  I left his nursery bedding on display for now.  His bed quilt is pottery barn.  

DIY headboard

My daughter's headboard was my first. I would use a French cleat to mount now.  I also used an old comforter in lieu of batting. It is visible at the bottom but not when behind the mattress.  I attached the legs and drilled for button holes.   Then I stapled two inch foama, then the comforter, and finally the upholstery- in this case a curtain.  Lastly I used button kits to make matching buttons.  I threaded them through with a long needle and used washers to secure. Voila!
