I am so excited that Something Turquoise has expanded their content and I am thrilled to be part of the team sharing not only amazing wedding content, but lots of post-wedding lifestyle content as well. I know all too well the pains of having a new home or apartment and not being able to find exactly what you are looking for, or not having the funds to furnish it the way you dreamed. I also know that this is a DIY loving crowd. I, myself, am a DIY home enthusiast and I’m excited to share awesome finds and things I’ve learned with you!

To kick off this brand new category on our blog, I wanted to find some fabulous DIY projects that I think would resonate with you guys! I have put together a round-up of amazing DIY modern headboard ideas. Whether you are refreshing your bedroom, or have found yourself with a guest room to decorate, these ideas really are genius and look like you found them at the priciest furniture store in town.
