DIY octavia headboard

I'm moving into a new apartment this weekend so I have been busy with some painting and DIY projects. The sideboard I bought at Brimfield a while back is now BRIGHT turquoise, which I'm hoping will be fun against an exposed brick wall. Also, I ordered my first queen sized mattress and couldn't be more excited to have my own, super comfy bed. I love the Octavia headboard from Serena & Lily but could never afford the $1,500+ price tag so my brother's girlfriend and I took a trip to Home Depot and Joanne's to try and create a similar version of our own. Sketching out the pattern and adding all the nailhead trim was a labor of love, and it's far from perfect, but we're pretty proud of how it turned out. In memory of my sweet baby niece that passed away in July I am doing my bedroom in lavender (purple was one of her favorite colors,) gray and white. Very pretty and serene I hope.

Serena & Lily is known for having the most adorable baby bedding, but I'm also loving some of the other furniture and home accessories that they carry. How fun is this chakki ottoman?
