Two years ago they moved into their 1941 house and since then she\u2019s be puzzling over how to make her and her husband Janne\u2019s compact bedroom feel \u201cless empty without crowding it with furniture.\u201d Taking inspiration from the room\u2019s paneled ceiling\u2014and all the paneling she\u2019s been admiring in other people\u2019s quarters of late\u2014Maiju came up with this DIY built-in headboard of homemade beadboard. She kindly agreed to share the project with us.<\/p>\n<p>Photography by Maiju Saha (@maiju_saw), courtesy of the Maiju Saw blog.<\/p>\n<h2>The Materials<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>slotted wood panels cut to the right height (Maiju\u2019s are approximately 45 inches tall)<\/li>\n<li>wood for the frame (\u201cthis will be covered so it can be any kind of wood, even rough\u201d says Maiju)<\/li>\n<li>thin nails for attaching the panels<\/li>\n<li>screws for affixing the frame<\/li>\n<li>good-quality wood to use as a shelf at the top of the headboard<\/li>\n<li>wood filler<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Tools<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>crosscut saw<\/li>\n<li>hammer<\/li>\n<li>power drill<\/li>\n<li>paint<\/li>\n<li>paint brush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Instrucciones<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4911784429940607956.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: Maiju used pine panels (shown here) that are much like Lowe\u2019s Unfinished Pine Tongue and Groove Walls Planks. You can also buy readymade primed beadboard paneling in a range of materials from Home Depot and other building supply stores.<br \/>\n<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4601503408944241621.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: Janne installs the frame.,<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/4440707833983585565.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: Hammering the panels. \u201cThe last plank is the one that goes on top; attach it with screws or wood glue or both,\u201d says Maiju. \u201cI also covered the screw marks with a filler to give them a more finished look.\u201d   <\/p>\n<p>Maiju says she\u2019s self taught and that one project has led to another: \u201cIt\u2019s been a long process starting with painting picture frames and chairs. Over time, I\u2019ve learned to use different electrical tools. Renovation projects are my meditation. And since my other work is digital, it\u2019s always so rewarding to see concrete results.\u201d Interestingly, Maiju\u2019s last name, Saha, translates as \u201cSaw\u201d in English, which is how she got her blog name, Maiju Saw.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/6348058295973721903.jpg\">  <br \/>Above: Maiju chose a shade of sage green. She painted the pine directly; you can also prime the panels before installation.
