White Picket Headboards

I love white picket fences. One day, in my dream house, I will have a white picket fence. For now, I may have to settle for putting this in the girls room:

I have toyed with the idea of putting a faux fence in their room before. They have this amazing doll house bookshelf that their great grandpa made them. It is almost identical to this one from Pottery Barn Kids, but even better!


I have been wanting to redo their room in a 'house' theme using the large bookshelf as the inspiration. And when I found the picture of the picket fence headboards at Southern Hospitality I knew it would work perfectly. And I think I could actually make these myself! It will definitely have to wait until after the holidays, but then I might just give it a shot.

If I had a cute picket fence headboard when I was a kid I would have probably grown up to be a lot more successful than I am right now. Get to it!

I have always loved the picket fence headboards. I think it would be beautiful in a little girls room.

Oh I love the picket fence headboards. Last year my DH made barbie houses similar to the book shelf for our 2 youngest daughters. I had so much fun wallpapering and decorating them. Thank you for coming to my blog. I am going to read more on yours. Hugs, Bobbi Jo
