The head board is 53 inches tall and 78 inches wide. A foot of the headboard shows on each side of the bed as pictured below. I think the foot on each side of the bed gives the piece more character and makes it a statement piece rather then just a headboard. Angie asked Nate specifically to cut the wood in that fashion, switching from dog ears to a straight cut on every other board. I personally love the look of the headboard and the uniqueness of the piece.
My recommendations is to get an even darker blue bedspread to really contrast off the headboard. Adding white and gray accent pillows with white or gray sheets would really provide a full effect and make the bed and headboard come together as one component. The grays and whites in the back will draw everyone's eyes to the headboard. Finally, I would suggest making the entire wall an accent wall by painting it a dark grey color to add depth and drama. With all of those design and color components, this room is exactly what I picture.
This was my favorite project that Nate and I have done so far. The project did take a very long time to construct, yet the final presentation to Angie was definitely worth the time we put into it. We hope that this gives Angie's home the perfect touch of farm and that it is savored by her as much as it is by us! We hope you all like the piece!
Thank you!
Nate and Madalen
