Rustic Headboard Inspiration

I’m gathering some rustic headboard inspiration!

I really want to make a rustic headboard!

We got our current headboard when we first got married.  It was part of a cheap bedroom set we picked up from Wal-Mart.  We outgrew the set a long time ago (the dresser & nightstand are both in our spare bedroom upstairs!), but the headboard is still hanging on!

Here’s what our headboard looks like currently:

 

I’ve been wanting to do something about our headboard for a while now.  A few months ago, we moved our bedroom downstairs.  It got me thinking about how old the headboard is & it’s time to change it out or give it a makeover!

Our current headboard has good bones.  I think it’s possible to use our headboard as a base for creating a rustic one.

Now the question is what do I want to do?  As always, I took to Pinterest for inspiration!  I even created a Pinterest board where I’m sure I’ll be pinning lots of rustic headboard goodness!
Because we’re so busy, I’m sure this project is a little ways off, but it doesn’t hurt to gather inspiration!  Here are a few rustic headboards I’m loving right now!

I love how chippy this is!  Even though I want the rustic wood look, I could see myself painting it chippy!

The dark stain is really awesome!

I like how the boards are vertical!  I don’t think it would work in my space but I love it!

Herringbone pattern is my favorite but this pallet headboard is gorgeous!

Another pallet headboard!  I love the vertical here!  It isn’t too overwhelming!

I can’t believe this headboard was made from wood shims!  Gorgeous!

This is super fancy, but I love it!

It’s a good thing we’re a little ways from stating this because I can’t decide which style of rustic headboard I like best!
