Burlap Upholstered Headboard

I sold the dining room table and chairs which left a gaping hole in my booth. I never expected it to sell so quickly! I have two more sets of tables and chairs that I need to get done! When Hartlex called and said it sold I knew I needed to take something to the booth to make it not feel so empty. I had this headboard that was ready to be upholstered. It was just a plain dark stained headboard but what sold me on it was the curvy top.

Before...dark and blah                                                                     

After...light and dreamy 

The top curvy part is painted in a soft creamy white. I added two thick layers of batting then fabric lining and the burlap. The burlap is the linen-like kind so it doesn't smell or shed like normal burlap. I love the texture and color of the wood and burlap together. This is a queen sized headboard 63 in. wide.

The lighting in my booth is terrible! It is making everything I have painted blue look purple. I am going to put some lamps in there and see if it helps. I still have to do something about the turquoise walls as well. I'm trying to redo my daughter's room and work on the rest of the house too. One day when I get a whole room clean I will take a pic and share.
