Headboard Fake {Faux for fancy}

As you can see in the photos below…we don’t have an official real headboard…..we’ve always just faked it with pillows and stuff.

Here is what I put up when we first moved here:

Never was really in love with…it was fine but seemed a bit…I don’t know…dinky (&, it seems, looks worse in this photo!)

So with autumn in the air – I decided to try another option.

I used stuff I already had

• A creamy white shutter {turned on its side}
• with some ribbon strung through the slats and tied in the back

Hung this on the existing nail from the stuff I took down

and

Tied the wreath onto the front of the shutter

Then I had the nail peeking out over the top (where I hung the ribbon/shutter from)

So I grabbed a vintage doorknob from my little collection

And popped it over the top of the nail

I’m digging it!
