Birthday Projects: Project 5

 My aunt passed away 5 years ago, and she gifted me a headboard.  Like my new end table, it is an old and solidly constructed piece of furniture.  I decided to give it a new style, again, so it would feel more like me. 

Here is the before, just your basic wooden headboard.  

I sanded it, and painted it navy blue, and then did a little distressing.  

I know I took a photo of just the headboard before I put the bed back together but I have lost that picture on my phone somehow, so here you get the gist of it PLUS you get to see the beautiful tapestry that my work kid selected for this space.
