DIY: Headboard!

When I showed you the pallet ideas yesterday, I also promised you that I would show you what I have used my pallets for. So without further introduction - meet our new headboard!


I´m actually quite pleased with the result, but I´m not sure if I should paint them or not. What do you think? I´m thinking either black or white. I kind of like this natural color as well....


So what do you think? You can see more photos of our bedroom on Stylizimo.com.
Wish you all a wonderful day! Here in Oslo it's snowing A LOT at the moment, so it seems that we have to wait a bit longer for spring.

  5. Så stilig! Det var en ny vri ☺
    Hadde bare beholdt den slik den er jeg, passet jo så godt til geviret på veggen ;)

    Ha en fin dag, her snør det også...det kom etter regnet. Har hatt bart siden jul vi, så dette var litt uventa...men, regner ikke med det holder så lenge ;)

  8. I am absolutely sure that my son would love this idea.

    I could very well imagine an open house, which has elements of Euro pallets and bung wood. That in combination with concrete floors and large windows...

    Big hugs

  10. WOW, underbart! Tack för all inspiration! :)

  11. Superstilig!
    Skulle ønske jeg kunne ha en sånn bak min seng..
    men, den står foran vinduet nå.

    Jeg ville IKKE malt.
    På en annen side, om du gjør det og angrer er det ikke akkurat en stor kostnad og få tak i nye.
    Men jeg syntes de var fine akkurat sånn som de er nå.
    Eventuelt kan du vurdere drivved-maling.
    Blir ikke like hardt som sort og ikke så kjedelig som hvitt.
    Var hvertfall utrolig fint nå :)

    ReplyDelete

  12. Det blir nok at jeg beholder de som de er foreløpig. Pallene har ligget ute over en lengre periode, så de har allerede en drivved farge nå. Alt jeg har gjort med de er å ta de i dusjen for å få de rene :)

    Takk for fiiine tilbakemeldinger! <3

    ReplyDelete

  13. I love it like that! I think painting it would give a whole different look that would lose the beauty of the palette.

    Go, Nina, Go!

  14. det er kjempe stiling. jeg liker dem godt umalt jeg da. Du får ha det sånn en stund, så kan du male dem når du begynner å gå litt lei. lettere å male senere, enn å måtte pusse ned igjen hvis du angrer;)

    ha en fin dag.

  15. Bare en ting å si. Kjempetøfft og kreativt.
    Liker den uslipte, røffe stilen jeg. For all del, ikke mal den!

  16. Nyyyydelig! Liker den fargen den har nå jeg :0)
    Klem klem

    ReplyDelete

  17. Hei! Det var skikkelig stilig! Mulig jeg ville malt dem hvite, men synes den røffe stilen passet veldig fint inn på soverommet ditt!! Hvordan festet du dem? Kommer nok til å herme litt jeg også. :)

    ReplyDelete

  18. I love it! Everything looks great. I love the idea for your jewelry!

    ReplyDelete

  19. Veldig fint på en røff og naturlig måte.
    Jeg har laget en slags veranda-sofa-seng av en pall. Rett og slett satt 4 hjul med lås (ligner på hjulene på handlevogner) og laget en madrass i skumgummi med fargerikt trekk som dekker pallen.
    Sammen med mange deilige puter har dette blitt hva vi kaller for "the snuggle corner" på verandaen vår.
    Skulle ønske jeg kunne sende bilde, men nå står pallen i garasjen og madrassen og putene ligger på loftet i vente av vårvær....

    ReplyDelete

  20. Lovely! Ikke svart syntes jeg, heller hvit, men kanskje du skal vente til du blir lei av naturfargen? Så kan du kose deg med maling og få noe "nytt" på soverommet! :-)

  22. Please! Please! Paaaaaaallllleze do not paint the pallets. It's absolutely stunning in it's natural state! Paint will totally transform the aesthetic & it may not appear as beautiful as it already is. You stated, "I´m actually quite pleased with the result" -- which is a strong indication that you need NOT tamper with this masterpiece lol.

  23. Hi Nina! I love the natural colour of the pallette and, if it would be up to me, I will leave them exactly as it is!
    Hugs!

  24. I love it, Nina. Looks great on the photo in the natural colour. I think I wouldn´t paint it.

  25. Wow så tøft og originalt!! Kjempeherlig kontrast til nattbordet og tekstilene!
    Ha en fin dag!

  26. Oh Nina, it looks stunning. But I couldn´t decide what colour to choose. I love this natural look, but white or black would be wonderful, too. please show us, if you may change it....
    Have a lovely snowy day and enjoy the "cleanness" of these snow. It maybe the last one for this winter...
    Hugs,

  31. I would leave them as is. They're gorgeous. Don't paint the headboard! (brilliant idea, by the way!)

    ReplyDelete

  32. Sigrid: Jeg har ikke festet de. De står på gulvet, og sengen holder de på plass. Enkelt som bare det :)

    Thank you all for your feedback - it seems that everyone wants me to keep the nature color so I will for now :)
    xoxo, Nina

  33. Kult + superenkelt + gratis = kinderegg!

    Så er jo alltid bildene dine så vakre da... *sukk*

  34. Omigosh! I love what you've done with the pallet. It looks perfect as your headboard...already loving the color, so I don't know if it needs to be painted. You should probably leave it alone for now and paint it when you get tired of it.

  35. Kjempekult! Jeg hadde nok beholdt dem slik de er :)

  36. Hello Nina,
    I think the palets are absolutely perfect! Don´t change them...the colors,structure...is lovely!!

    Du er super kreativ. Blir alltid inspirert av å lese bloggen din altså:)

  42. Så utrolig stilig! I K K E mal! De er fantastiske som de er! =)

  43. I like it.. and if you think it should be lighter .. read my guestpost at Sarah's Beachcottage from some time ago.. I waxt the wood of that table and did the same with other wood ;) http://www.abeachcottage.com/2010/05/a-visitor-from-far-away-lands-comes-to-stay-at-the-beach-cottage.html

    ReplyDelete

  44. You are really creative! Looks fantastic! Perfect use of pallets plus it goes well with all your house look.

    ReplyDelete

  45. Ååå, jeg elsker det!! Drømmesoverom! Ville absolutt beholdt de som de var! Jeg ble så inspirert og fikk lyst til å herme ;) Men tror ikke det funker til sengen vår jeg! Man må vel nesten ha en rammemadrass?

    ReplyDelete

  46. Det er nok en fordel med rammemadrass ja, Martine. Tusen takk for hyggelig kommentar <3

    Thanks to all of you - you are such sweethearts!
    xoxo, Nina

  47. Nice headboard!!!! I love the idea. The natural color looks good. I would go with natural and I feel that it looks more 'you'.

    ReplyDelete

  49. I love this! I think I may have just found my new headboard

    ReplyDelete

  50. I agree..don't change a thing. It is beautiful.

    ReplyDelete

  51. i'm flippin' mad about these pallets as a headboard. happy to hear you are leaving them....as is. so lovely and charming. rustic and masculine in a room that has some feminine charm. so good. looking for my hammer. ;)

    ReplyDelete

  52. Thank you so much for your feedback all <3

    ReplyDelete

  53. I am so smitten with this!! I've been looking for a place to use pallets for a while now. I'd LOVE to know how you did this so that I could duplicate it.

    Also, I like it just like it is without paint.

    Your newest follower:)

  54. Thank you Amanda! There is no how to - they are as they are :) I just washed them and putted them behind the bed.

    ReplyDelete

  55. I love it how it is! The neutral tones look so nice against the white of the bed.

  56. Wow that is a very interesting idea! I think I like it! I've been thinking about what to do for a headboard (and a bedframe). Maybe I'll try something like this.

    ReplyDelete

  57. I love how the room is styled and the headboard just adds to it! If you don't mind my asking, where did you get the bedside lamp? I'd love to use it on my piano...

    ReplyDelete

  58. I love the idea of repurposing pallets. I'll be posting this on my blog soon along with other ideas for reusing pallets.

    ReplyDelete

  60. I LOVE anything rustic, especially raw wood: crates, pallettes, etc! The hubby and I don't have a headboard at the moment and I think this would be the perfect way to tie the room together! Thanks for your awesome ideas and I love your blog.

    ReplyDelete

  61. Hey, can you tell me how you did this pleeeeeease??? I am in love!

    ReplyDelete

  62. I am curious how you have liked having the pallets behind your bed now that it has been a few months- My worry is that the splinters would start to wreck your pillows and top of the sheets...

    ReplyDelete

  63. Hello Melissa! I haven´t had any problems since I added the pallets. No damage on either pillows or sheets, so I have to say that I´m happy with the headboard :)

    Anonymous: Well....I did´t do much. I just placed two worn pallets (I washed them in the shower!) behind the bed. Very easy :)
    -Nina

    ReplyDelete

  64. Wow! I can't believe how beautiful your pallets are without doing anything to them but washing!
    The ones sitting in my garage have random nails coming out in all directions, broken pieces of wood and paint. I'll have to do some work on mine!
    Thanks so much for this post - its my inspiration!

    ReplyDelete

  65. I would absolutely love to duplicate this but am concerned about the cleanliness of the pallet. Did you treat the pallet before putting it in your room? Did you have any of the same concerns? Thank you!

    ReplyDelete

  66. Jeg har lenge, veldig lenge ønsket meg en hodegavl til senga, men ikke funnet noen jeg liker. Denne derimot var helt fantastisk! Tror jeg må prøve å lage noe slikt. Takk for tips!
    Klem Tonje

  67. Most pallets found are treated with chemicals with formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals. Please look to see if yours was stamped as untreated or reconsider this pallet as your headboard.

    ReplyDelete

  68. I've always loved the ideas of using palettes, I'm still a bit freaked out by the bugs and splinters though. How do you make sure that there are no freaky insects hiding inside it?

    ReplyDelete

  69. i think black would be the best, as most of the color in that room is white, so coloring the pallet black would make wonders.

    ReplyDelete

  70. Wow I had a very similar idea but I stained my pallets. I'm just trying to figure out how to hang them or attach them to my frame. Ideas?

    ReplyDelete

  71. I've been obsessed with repurposing shipping pallets for some time. I'm always amazed to see what other people come up with and how easy the ideas are to implement. I'm even more impressed with the incredible style accomplished from an item that potentially would have been destroyed or scraped. The right colors and accessories make that pallet and room look casually sophisticated and classy! Well done.

    ReplyDelete

  72. I love the natural color.
    You're lucky as the pallets that I've found don't have that grey natural tones. Usually, they are more yellow. So they'll definitely need white paint. But not yours I think.

    ReplyDelete

  74. I love it! Made a coffee table out of a palette last summer :)

    ReplyDelete

  75. I love the natural look! Excellent way to reuse a pallet!

    ReplyDelete

  76. Love it! How did you attach it to the wall?

    ReplyDelete

  77. Hi!
    These headboards are awesome. I also found wide range of new headboards on cheap prices at http://www.dreambedroom.co.uk/compare_headboards.html

    ReplyDelete

  78. Love the idea! Where did you find your pallet? I'm not too keen on buying one off of industrial companies. I wonder if we can buy brand new ones from somewhere?

    ReplyDelete

  80. very nice! i wont do this...but i'm a question: that,can i use all the pallets? because i'm a pallet that there is write "italc 27 m"...it'chimically?or term?

    ReplyDelete

  81. How did you make this? Did you just attach it to the bed or did you attach it to the wall?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete

  82. Oh wow love this, we end up with so many of these had been trying to think of things to do with them as the boys usually just end up burning them and thought it was such a waste!!!! can't say I would have thought of this but I love the look

  83. Kjempefine slik de er synes jeg!

    Avhengig hva du ønsker å få frem.
    Maler du de, blir det formen som blir mer fremtredende.
    Nå er det både formen og strukturen, røffheten mot det delikate som gjør hele rommet. Bærre lækkert! :)

  86. I usually do not drop a comment, however after reading through a great deal of comments
    here "DIY: Headboard!". I do have a few questions for you if you do not
    mind. Could it be just me or does it appear like some of these comments appear like they are written by brain dead
    folks? :-P And, if you are posting at additional social sites,
    I would like to follow you. Would you make a list of all of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page

  89. I'm obsessed with gray wood stain lately and think that would look gorgeous with your color scheme, but, like the others, I love the natural look, too!

  90. This is a great bedroom inspiration. It was just as great that I found your blog for home ideas because we purchased a new property and I'm really excited on designing our new home.
