Rustic Style Headboard

This is a simple tongue-and-groove style headboard that only requires basic woodworking skills to bring to it life. All you need to make this one is some wood planks, a hammer, and plenty of nails. Oh, and don’t forget your stain or paint color of choice. It’s such a basic design, but the effect is very polished and refined.

After you frame the board together, you can paint it and then distress it for a reclaimed wood feel. Or, to class it up a bit, cover it in your favorite stain, and add a glossy varnish to give the wood a warm, cozy glow. Or, if solids are more your style, paint it out in all black or gray for a chic, monochrome look.
