Headboard

My latest project was turning this out dated headboard into a pottery barn dupe. I'm loving vintage charm an wanted a distressed look for our room. We came a cross the head board while thrifting an got it for practically nothing. After a trip to Home Depot, and coming through pin boards to find the right colors, we got to work.

We removed the fabric, luckily it was wood behind it. We sanded the polish off and stained it. It took three coats to get it dark enough. Then, my husband used a dry brush technique, which requires as little paint as possible. Once that dried some light sanding, and there you have it, our PB dupe.
