The bedroom is without a doubt is the most imperative room in a house. This is the place where all the relaxation happens, where you loosen up and unwind to the finish of a day.

And we are so inspired so that made a list for you and for our own bedrooms to use. So let’s get the ball rolling and check out instructions. Hope that you will love it and these guidelines will fulfill all your requirements and criteria:

1 MATERIAL

One of the basic facts which happen to all is the question: who needs a costly rustic headboard like target offers for example (not less than 200?$) when it is RUSTIC by the definition and you can construct a less expensive one that is similarly as exquisite from a real rustic wood? Let's go to a lumber yard and ask for the cheapest piece of wood they have. Prices can vary from 40$ to 400$ for a big wooden piece. Buy your wood from a lumber yard rather than in a big store.

2 PAINT

Paint your wood and leave to dry well. Use citistrip and strip a few layers of paint off the newly painted headboard. Don’t take all the paint off to reach cool #distressedlook. Brew 8 bags of tea and wiped it onto the headboard with a washcloth and let it dry overnight. Make vinegar/steel wool mixture: put a few steel wool pads in a mason jar and then covering the pads with vinegar.  Then leave the jar in the garage for a few days so the steel wool can dissolve a little into the vinegar. Apply on beadboard and let dry

3 WAX

Finish with wood wax
