I just love the beadboard headboard John made for our room!

Drilling holes to mount on the wall with toggle bolts

John puttied the holes, touched up the paint and added a ledge and moulding.

I just love it!  Thanks, John

    Looks really nice. What type of finish piece did you put on the very top to make it look so good ?

    Thanks, Rita! My husband says the top piece is a 1x4 ripped down to 2.5 inches, and under that is a piece of quarter-round.

    Does the top shelf extend beyond the end posts?

    Yes, the moulding extends it out some, and the top shelf a bit more -- about an inch all around.

    Beadboard is a classic wall paneling commonly associated with New England and Cape Cod-style houses and country decor. While its standard use is as wainscoting (e.g., below a chair rail), its availability in tongue-and-groove sections, or as a sheet good material, makes it perfect for a variety of DIY-friendly projects
