Unique Chalkboard Headboard

If you love the idea of a chalkboard headboard, but aren’t ready to commit an entire wall in your bedroom to it, then this could just be the perfect compromise for you. While it’s not initially as easy as the chalkboard wall, it’s a great way to incorporate the whimsy of a chalkboard with the practicality of a traditional headboard.

For this project, you need some wood—a sheet of plywood will do just fine—some paint primer, chalkboard paint, and dustless chalk. Sketch your desired shape on the top of the wood, and carefully cut it out with a handsaw or router. Then, prime it and paint it with the chalkboard paint, and install if behind your bed. Now all that’s left to do is to start drawing.
