A Homemade Headboard

My husband and I like to sit up in the mornings and drink coffee while reading a devotional together. We've needed a nice comfy headboard for awhile now. I finally got around to purchasing some soft white fabric and a piece of foam. Earlier this week we purchased a piece of plywood, and had it cut to fit the foam.

So, Matt emailed me these pictures today - the finished product! He assembled a couple pieces of wood onto the back of it to prop it up and - now we have a headboard!
I will fix on some buttons eventually, but we were after comfort first...
Yippie!!!! Total cost: $19 fabric, $20 for the foam, and $15 for the plywood. = totally worth every penny!

Thank you Matt for installing it for us! And, for making our bed so nice. Wow it looks good :)

We are gearing up to drive home tomorrow night. I am writing out my packing list...

Welcome, July...and a special welcome to London Grace, a new 8lb baby girl born to my dear friend Renee this morning! I will get to hold her this weekend :)
