Amber, a Knock Off Décor reader without a blog, really wanted a linen headboard for her new king-sized bed. While online prices were of course high, shipping to Canada added another monstrous expense. Amber and her husband decided instead to build their own headboard with deep tufts and nailhead trim and are sharing their steps right here on KOD! Without further ado, I’ll let Amber take it away with the how-to on how she made this beauty!
As soon as Whitney from Shanty 2 Chic saw a storage bench from Pottery Barn with a weathered finish and curved lines, she says she knew it had to be done! Whitney enlisted the help of Ana White to draw up plans and then fired up the power tools. I love how the drawers provide hidden storage and can’t think of a room in the house where this beautiful bench wouldn’t be welcome!
Small mirrors from the dollar store may not seem like much to get excited about, but when their powers combine… Michelle from Oh, Sweet Honey Iced Tea followed the tutorial from Dollar Store Crafts to turn nine small mirrors into a BIG statement-making multi-panel mirror. She says this is a beginner level project that only takes about 30 minutes to complete and costs less than $15. If you can operate a roll of duct tape, you can make this mirror!
We’ve all been there… we’ve been eyeing that special something something for weeks and finally get around to ordering it, and… it’s No. longer. available. Erg! That’s what happened to Melissa of The Happier Homemaker with Pottery Barn’s wooden star panel. Thanks to Melissa’s savvy skills though it turned out to be a blessing! Melissa was about to create her own star art for absolutely nothing using supplies she already had. Melissa says this is a great beginner project for those of you who want to take up wood work in 2014!
Ashley from Shanty 2 Chic fell hard for a table from Pottery Barn with a planked wood top, large bottom shelf, and thick turned legs and had to have something like it. She enlisted the help of Ana White to draw up the plans and got to building! A wood company kindly created special legs just for Ashley’s table, and the exciting part is we can all order them. Like Ashley says, they totally make the table!
