DIY Shutter Headboard- Take 2

One of the things I had to finish before Joy arrived a couple weeks ago (see here) was the guest room.  She was the first over-night guest in our home since the big move in December (dets here) and I wanted her to feel like her room was complete.  Since I still really liked the headboard from the master bedroom at our apartment, I decided to use it again but to give it a little makeover.  Seriously, who doesn’t love a makeover?!

In our previous master bedroom, I purchased shutter dividers from Hobby Lobby (my favorite store) and negotiated them down to $50 because there were a few dings. 

They were originally $300, so I’d say I got the better deal ;-)

I separated the shutters and used one to display pictures. I painted it blue and then distressed it (tutorial here).

The others I attached to the bed for an espresso colored headboard (tutorial here).

When we moved to the new house we purchased a new bedroom set so I still had these shutters, and to be honest I still really liked them.
I primed and painted the shutters white, and then distressed them with sand paper.

The Mr. attached them to the wall for me and we were done.

Easy, Peasy, Lemon Squeezy <---- That’s what the Mr. said :-)

I think it really gave the room the complete look I was looking for and it maintained the serene, peaceful, & warm bungalow feeling I was going for in the guest room. The colors in this room are lavendar, white, cream, and gray.

See burlap lamp tutorial hereThis is now the only completed bedroom in the house. lol I still have the other bedroom and the master to tackle and I think I’m going to start on the office next. 

Any tips or trends you recommend for our "warm bungalow"?

Have a great weekend y’all!
