Upholstered Pool Noodle Headboard

July 10, 2024 by Bethany Sy

Pool Noodle Headboard by Reality Daydream

You know I love a good upholstered headboard. In fact, THIS upholstered DIY headboard tutorial is one of the first projects I ever had go viral! But Nick and I recently upgraded to a king size bed, and I've been dreaming up another upholstered headboard design. Last summer, I had the idea to use pool noodles instead of foam (foam is SO EXPENSIVE) and I even ordered fabric. But by the time I got ... [ Read More ]

Kids Upholstered Headboard Tutorial

December 5, 2018 by Bethany Sy

Yo ho ho! Good morning besties! I'm in a mood today, so you've been warned. My friend Jenn inspired me to 'put myself together' a little more in the mornings (even though I'm a stay-at-home mom) because it magically gives her more energy and she feels more on throughout the day. And although today is only day 1 for me trying this experiment, SO FAR SO GOOD. I've been more productive in the 3 ... [ Read More ]

Upcycled Headboard Ideas for Fiestaware Display

February 23, 2018 by Bethany Sy

One of my besties, Angie, is moving to my town from a couple hours away, and I could NOT be more excited! I wanted to make her a house-warming gift, so I asked her to pick out something on Pinterest for me to DIY for her. She decided on this headboard turned teacup rack as a Fiestaware display for her teacups, and I was up for the challenge! It’s been a minute since I’ve done a good ‘'ol’ upcycled ... [ Read More ]

Wooden Modern Headboard with Unique Texture Effect

April 28, 2017 by Bethany Sy

My parent’s thought it would be great fun to have a kid every two years… for FOURTEEN YEARS. And that is why I’m 12 years older than my youngest sibling. Josh. This pic is something like 13 years old. I still totally look like this, right? Of all my siblings, Josh and I are the most similar (even though I graduated and moved away when he was 5, and we didn’t really get to know each other until ... [ Read More ]

Rounded Upholstered Boho Headboard

May 26, 2016 by Bethany Sy

I’m pretty excited about things going down in our master bedroom. I’m speaking mostly of the rated-G things… like lighting, wall treatments, and chunky crown molding. We’re a little ways from an actual room reveal, but I’m ready to reveal the headboard. It cost exactly $30 to make. NOTE: I think this headboard would also be great in a kids room! And I included it in a roundup of ideas ... [ Read More ]

GIVEAWAY! Upholstered DIY Headboard Kit!

January 21, 2013 by Bethany Sy

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED We’ve been thinkin’ about how fun it would be to giveaway a piece of furniture here on the blog… but shipping a china cabinet just doesn’t seem logical. So let’s back up a bit… Based on a couple recent events (organizing the craft room and swearing off turquoise) I realized I had quite a bit of fabric that needed to find a new home. Of course you know that this is ... [ Read More ]
