Introducing Miss Marilyn...

Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you had a brilliant weekend!

I hinted last week that I had been working on a project featuring the gorgeous Marilyn Rubie Green fabric & today I'm excited to share with you my DIY headboard project...



I first had a crush on the Marilyn fabric when I saw Michelle Adams' used it for her headboard and I wasn't disappointed when the fabric arrived - it is even more gorgeous close up!

I followed this DesignSponge* tutorial to make it and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. 

Deciding to keep it the square shape, it definitely makes more of a statement in the room, but a very good statement at that!

Goes nicely with the IKEA Rast hack, don't you think?

Hope your week is off to a lovely start!

  13. Great post Rachel! I have been seriously considering paying over $1000 for a custom made upholstered headboard, but after following your link and watching the tutorial, I'm feeling brave enough to try it myself!

  14. Brooke, I would definitely recommend doing it! It is a very easy to follow tutorial and fun too. The most expensive part was definitey the fabric, but a lot less than $1000! xx
