Hand-built rustic "barnboard" queen-sized headboard

Here's a project I worked on for my own home the month before.  My guest room desperately needed some help as it had been on my project back-burner for several years.  After our bathroom renovation wrapped up - wherein our contractor had used our guest room for his tools and storage! - I decided to tackle the guest room and make it livable again.  I tore out the old 1960's built-in plywood shelves, painted the entire room, including the 55 year old trim that had never been painted, and I changed up the bedding.  Then I decided I wanted a nice headboard for the bed, but after a big bathroom reno, I didn't want to spend a fortune.  So I built my own and saved lots of time and money!  In 2.5 hours start to finish, one could say I "threw" this headboard together!  But I assure you that it is made well and that I am just very efficient at working! I've made this style of headboard a few times, so making it again was a breeze, and once I custom mixed my stain, it was easy to get together and stain to look like older wood.  Looking for a headboard like this for your space?   :)

I have no before picture!  I was overzealous to start this room's makeover and completely forgot.  A before picture of the headboard would just be a picture of a pile of wood!

After: a country-chic headboard, fit for a rustic queen!
