Hang It Up
Typically, you want a fabric headboard to be 2 to 4 feet above the top of the mattress. To make theirs the right height, the Colverts set the mantel on top of wooden posts. Then they mounted it to the wall using construction adhesive and wood screws drilled in at an angle. Now the Homewood, Alabama, couple has a unique headboard design they can truly call their own.
