{AKA} Design - Reclaimed Headboard (and more)

Sometimes you just see an inspiring DIY project and make plans to add on a bedroom to your home, right?  Okay, so that's a little extreme but it is a dream of mine after seeing this gorgeous reclaimed wood-look headboard. Too bad that the 3 beds in our house are a poster bed, a sleigh bed and my daughter's French provincial.  Otherwise, you'd see me making my version of this DIY rustic beauty from Shannon at {AKA} Design. 


I even love the super cute burlap banner...
Looks like real barn wood, doesn't it?  Sometimes that's not always available so Shannon and her husband made their own.  They did a pretty realistic job, don't you think?

It's a perfect accent to her inspiration board...dreamy bedroom!

There is so much more to see. And what I love about Shannon's DIY is that they're not only beautiful and affordable, she makes DIY look easy!  Check out her super adorable digital prints too!  So sweet!
