This blog is a new, and exciting, one for us. We were contacted by a fantastic local publication, called 585 Magazine, and asked if Mike could build something for their March/April publication. Since we planned to do a guest room makeover in the spring, we moved our timeline up. Mike offered to build something for the room and we chose this queen size farmhouse style headboard because it would go with my overall vision for the room.
The magazine crew came out for a couple photo shoots and our cute dogs ended up being in the shoot. They both loved posing!
The magazine team brought a couple cute models with them. Zoe loved posing with her new little friend and this adorable pic ended up being the cover of the magazine. You can see the issue and subscribe to 585 Magazine Here.

So back to the headboard! Mike built this pretty quickly, in an afternoon, and says that if you have intermediate woodworking skills it should be pretty easy to tackle.
I love how chippy and rustic it looks.
Instead of making you consult back to the blog for building instructions, we thought we would make the directions printable.
How to Download the Instructions
Enter your info into this form and click Get Tutorial.

You will get an email and will need to click the button to download the printable. The instructions will download in a PDF.
If you’re new to DIY Mike has created a list of his most used power tools that will help you with projects. You can find that here.
It’s our first time creating a tutorial so we would love your feedback. If there’s anything we can do to make them better, please feel free to let us know. If you have question post them below or email me at Heather@centsiblechateau.com.

Did you connect the headboard to the wall or the bed frame?
Hi Tiffany, The bed frame! 🙂 It’s attached with a lag bolt through the screw holes in the metal frame into the legs. We should add that to the instructions, thank you for asking!
Congratulations! This is so exciting! I love the headboard and just might use this if we ever redo our headboard in our master!
I am a brand new blogger and would love for you to check out my blog!

Congratulations on the collaboration! That is such a pretty headboard. You did it perfectly. Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!
Any idea on how to change the measurements for a full size bed?
Hi Shelby,
I’m going to send you an email tomorrow with instructions from my husband!
Thank you!
Heather
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi Heather,
I also have a full size bed. Would you be able to sent the instructions to me as well? I just signed up for the downloadable instructions a moment ago from this site. Thanks, and I look forward to trying this (hoping to purchase a kreg jig in early Sept.., then tackle a long list of next-level furniture diy projects!).
Thank you and your husband,
Jen
Hi!
My daughter and I are going to build this headboard together for her to take to college. I had a question about one of the measurements. The height of the center frame is 21.25″, but it says to cut the 1″x6″ slats that will attach to it 24.25″. Could you confirm or clarify these measurements for me, please?
Thanks!
Leslie
OK, my brother has educated this novice on why those values are different! Can’t wait to get started!
Leslie
Leslie,
Hi! I’m so glad your brother helped you! I’m super excited that you’re building it and I would LOVE to see it and share it if you would let me.
My email is heather@centsiblechateau.com or you could hit me up on Facebook!

Heather
Wondering which size board you ripped and cut down for the top headboard cap. Was it a 1×6 or 2×6? Thanks!
Hi Caite! Husband says 1 x 6 🙂
Hi, any way you could help with measurements for a king bed?

Do you have the measurements for a king?
Thank you
I have a king sized bed but would love to make this, how would I adjust the measurements? Any help would be greatly appreciated. LOVE LOVE LOVE this headboard
hi Marcia, we don’t have king size directions. I hope we can do them someday, i’ll send you a note if we are able. But right now we don’t have them unfortunately.
Hi, what color did you use underneath the white? I really love the way it pulled through just a little.
Hi! The stain is Rustoleum and it’s “Kona” color. That’s my favorite! Thank you for visiting!
Would love if you sent me the instru tions for this headboard.
Thanks,

Hi Erin, I sent you an email. Did you enter your email below this post where it says to download the farmhouse bed? If you did and didn’t get the instructions let me know.
Hi Heather,
Yes, I entered my email address but, did not see a link to the instructions.
Hi Heather,
Absolutely love this headboard and if you are ever able to come up with the
instructions for a King I would like them also.
Thank you,
Cynthia
We’re going to attempt this headboard for my sister’s birthday present thanks for sharing the instructions.
Hey Heather! I love this headboard, I’m hoping my hubby & I can build it…well, he build & I paint 😉 Do you have instructions for how you painted it? I read in the comments you stained & then painted…what type paint did you use? What did you seal the bed with when finished painting? Thanks so much for the feedback ☺
Hello! If your husband adjusts this for king size, I would appreciate a copy also! Thank you so much! It’s lovely!!
This looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Teresa, That’s wonderful news!
Just this past weekend I started this project for our lake house. I am really interested in the process you used to finished this piece. Could you elaborate more on your process and the materials you’d used to get this fabulous distressed look.
Thank you,

I also would appreciate full size directions.
Fell in love with this style. Would like to know what the measurement for a King size would be. Looking to make this for our king bed. Can you send me what the size would be for a King headboard? Thanks
