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 the form like I did here 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!

I’ve seen your blog and that Kitchen! It’s amazing!! Welcome to the blogging world!
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!

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!

If you have any questions along the way, please send a note. I’ll get husband to help!
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 🙂
Love your headboard. Any chance your husband has measurements for a king bed?
We don’t have King plans but I’ll have him work on them!
