West Elm Window Headboard Copy Cat
/
Our copy cat headboard is complete!
Here was our inspiration image...
And here is our much less expensive version (it's sad our new bedding isn't here yet but I couldn't wait to post the final product, so excuse the mattress pad photo. :P)....
Clicking "CHECKOUT" on the West Elm site would have been MUCH easier but our version was MUCH cheaper and more rewarding.
West Elm wanted $299.00 plus $60.00 shipping.
Our cost: $57.06 Here's the break down:
How long did it take? Long enough. :P
Cutting wood/laying out pattern: 1 hour
Drilling pocket holes: 1 hour
Screwing together: 1 hour
Sanding: 1/2 hour
Priming: 1 1/2 hours
2 coats of paint: 1 hour for each coat (I'm a slow painter and there were A LOT of corners.)
Plans and how-to to follow!!
