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.

Any tips or trends you recommend for our "warm bungalow"?
Have a great weekend y’all!
