Pottery Barn look alike headboard!

J and my master bed room is a huge work in progress...  It's  a hodgepodge of his and my furniture thrown together.  I was anxious to get a bed/headboard but I wanted to get one at a thrift store or DIY.

A friend referred me to the wonderful website of Ana White, http://ana-white.com; which offers plans for all kinds of furniture, including Pottery Barn, Ethan Allen, and more.  My dear husband and I are both not very handy, but I knew just who to talk to about making a new headboard.

I found the "Reclaimed Wood Pottery Barn type Headboard".  This was modeled after the Mason Headboard, priced at $799 for a king.

 
I settled on this headboard but in a lighter shade.  My Dad made the headboard quickly and said that the instructions were very good; total cost of supplies were $186 for premium lumber.  Here are the pictures of the finished product (please excuse the poor photos, these were taken from my iphone):

It bolted right onto our King Size bed frame.

I may end up painting the headboard white but so far I'm happy with it.  Here is the link to the finished plans!  I can't wait to try (with my Dad's help!) a bookcase!
