I'm Kristin.  I am a wife, designer, Christian and for now a SAHM.  My husband and I are parents to three kids- Dylan Archer, Kyler Jude and Noelle Rose. Despite the name, this isn’t a mommy blog and you won’t find sponsored content here. Ultimately my goal is to leave it as a legacy to my children and possibly anyone else who wishes to follow my journey. This little corner of the web documents my family's adventures and lessons I've learned along the way.  The Mom Jungle is a modern interpretation of both the family newsletter and scrapbook.  

I call this The Mom Jungle because motherhood is fun and messy, filled with laughter and sometimes heartache… it truly is a jungle out there!

DIY Barn Board Headboard

DIY Barn Board Headboard

THE MOM JUNGLE
Home, DIY

I love being married to a handy man!  This past Christmas he made me this rustic, shabby-chic barn board headboard.  I wish I had photos of the process, but I think it's self-explanatory.  The one thing that may distinguish this from other barn board headboards is that instead of adhering the boards to the wall, my husband, Justin built a supporting frame.  This allows the headboard to be moved easily and doesn't damage the wall.

MATERIALS:

  • Barn board x 4 (these are real barn boards)

  • 2x4 boards for supporting frame

  • Screws

  • Glue

  • Matte Stain

COST: $60
