Here ya go! http://alyssamazing.blogspot.com/2009/01/this-was-spur-of-moment-project-so-we.html

I sure hope so! We dropped Alyssa a line requesting some directions for her fabulous headboard project so our fingers are crossed that they’re forthcoming. And just in case we don’t get detailed instructions straight from the horse’s mouth, we think a similar look can be achieved by following these semi-simple instructions:

1. cut a piece of plywood or MDF to the desired headboard size

2. use decorative molding to create three boxes (mitre the corners at 45 degree angles and secure these boxes of molding to the plywood or MDF with wood glue or a nail gun)

3. top the plywood with a thicker piece of decorative molding (angled on both ends for drama) with wood glue or a nail gun

4. paint the entire piece with deep chocolate paint for a luxe look

5. screw the headboard into the wall (using metal anchors for security) and you’re ready to push your bed in front of it and enjoy your new creation

Hope it helps!
