***I found some pillow cases at TJ Maxx the other day. Here is the final product.
Jake and I finished making our headboard this weekend. It turned out quite nice. Total cost was 45 dollars. Jake picked out the fabric from Joanns for 3 bucks a yard! 
The colors in the photos are really weird but the fabric is a gray/brown. Now I need to find a panel cover for our bed and fabric for pillow cases.
Here is where the original inspiration came from:
After nailing in the first 10 upholstery nails we decided against the second row.
*Has anyone used upholstery nails before? Is there a better way than just hand nailing them? They are seriously so difficult.

It looks great!!! Hope you are doing well
very nice! That looks really cool!!
Looks great. Did you try a power nailer? Don't know if that would work...but, that's my suggestion. It's like a power drill, but it nails stuff instead. Board looks awesome though.
Love TJ Maxx. And great job on the decor, especially the headboard. Mad Props.
