Howdy friends! We've been using and abusing our Sven Sofa and Armchair from Article for…
Is it too early to call this spring cleaning? The truth is, we've been planning…
Nick and Bethany Sy are the creative free-spirits behind DIY/Lifestyle blog, Reality Daydream. They recently purchased a historic mansion and have been documenting the ups and downs of renovation and making this home their own... all while sharing tips and tutorials along the way! When they found themselves in the trenches of infertility, they started a journey that would prove to be their most important DIY project ever, and have 3 beautiful girls to show for it. <3

This is one of the coolest projects you’ve made!
Hi Anonymous, unfortunately we didn’t do a tutorial when we made this headboard several years ago. Basically we just cut the backboard to be longer/wider and upholstered it before gluing on the individual upholstered squares. Then we hammered in the tacks one at a time. It took FOREVER, and never quite looked straight or professional. We weren’t happy with the way it turned out and that’s why we didn’t do a tutorial on it. We hope you have better luck though. Send us pics when you’re done!
Hi! I’m making a headboard and love the boarder around the headboard. I couldn’t find it anywhere in the tutorial, just wondering if there were simple instructions on how to recreate it! Thanks!
