DIY Farmhouse Style King Headboard

This diamond-shaped headboard has farmhouse style and is a great way to update a room that needs a space saving "up-do". The headboard has an awesome color to it, thanks to my constant indecisions on my choice for color in stain! I decided to combine all the colors, and this magnificent greyish-brown came to be! With many inspirations googled, I actually found Shanty-2-Chic's Farmhouse Bed Frame from one of their projects, which shined as my main inspiration.
