Headboard for my bed

(Re-posted: originally created in July, 2011)

I bought a mattress and box spring set 3 months ago at SleepTrain. I like my bed. It's very cozy, though it's a bit small for me (twin size). One thing I don't like with it is that it didn't come with a headboard. I considered buying a headboard separately, but, I couldn't find a proper one. So I decided to make my own headboard. Fortunately, as usual, IKEA has all the solution I'm looking for.

This is a cheap ($19.99) and nice tea table from IKEA, and I transformed it to a headboard like this.

The most tricky part was to drill a straight hole on the side of the table top for the legs.
