Hey! If you like crafts, check out my channel! :)

[candycane19]

Am glad I came across this video. Am a fan of you since your days in Threadbanger :)

[24ntk]

what is the point of hanging the smaller board and then taking it right back off the wall?

[24ntk]

@24ntk nevermind...just realized the nails stayed in the wall...

[craftzine]

@24ntk To test the nails to make sure the brackets/mending plates aligned correctly. WAY easier to find out at that stage as opposed to when you have the whole thing finished. Prior planning prevents piss-poor performance and mega F%&$ ups:)

[musiclover1ism]

i LOVE ur bird pillow <3

lol

[lilstar9895]

awwwwwwwww cute doggy



[sozaito]

OMG do you know how much headache I had trying to find studs in old houses while using those dam stud finders? I wish I know about the magnet trick *sigh*

[sassy808]

I thought it would be shaped and have nailhead detailing but simple is nice too I guess

[craftzine]

@sassy808 I am not into the fancy schmancy shape, I dig the clean shape of ours best for our room. Customize yours however you wish. There are how-to's on customizing the shape all over, just look around. xo, Meg

[star81782]

incredible! this looks so professional and really dresses up the room. so sophisticated! thanks for all the great tips.

[craftzine]

@star81782 Thanks, so glad you like it!

[Neropatti]

I was hoping to see how you would have achieved the contoured head from the movie shot that you showed last time.

[craftzine]

@Neropatti Not my style, but there are plenty of how-to's out there showing you how to achieve that. xo, Meg

[drhesslen]

Could you use a nail gun instead of glue?

[thisisaraddish]

I love you. Just saying.

[paperogasacco]

[emberoze]

[mygodybombastic]

[dazzychica]

I never knew I could find a stud with a magnet! Does it have to be an exceptionally strong magnet, though? I'm going to try my fridge magnets, lol!

[Naina502]

I love that your husband helps you with your projects. You two are beautiful together -3

[Kristin6682]

What wood measurements would you suggest for a Queen Size Bed?

[DJBigMD]

i guess this headboard is way more important to whimen :'D

[LONGHANGINGCAPIZ]

love!

[AetherDreamSeeker]

That was a really nice idea with lots of customizing potential. The magnet was also a nice idea

[85babycakes]

Do you guys sleep on that bed together? My husband and I have a cal King, and that sometimes that feels small. due to my 19 month old and cat sleeping with us. Mabey its cause I like to stretch out on the bed. Lol. Not sure.

[Taunya1978]

What size wood is needed for a king size bed?

[RubyRoseDIY]

You are amazing. It's all I have to say. :)

[wereallmadhere9]

I totally need a kaftan.

[srizo84]

[rinirino]

[mnjesyed]

[skyfrostthunderock]

[whutzat]

[DesignModern]

[thelumbahjack]

lol! african sex goddess

[MacAronySalsa]

More like upholstered night-light! =D

[LittleSelfia]

Meg, you are a goddess among crafters.

[aglanceatmyworld]

I love the headboard...would like to make one like it...but we have a oddly placed window and the edge hangs a few inches over our bed about 1.5 feet up. Still haven't figured out a headboard that will work with the layout.

[craftzine]

@aglanceatmyworld I JUST helped my buddy with this exact problem by creating an L-shaped headboard. It will be a video, but I'll get him to send me a pic in the meantime to show you. xo, Meg

[aglanceatmyworld]

@craftzine That's so awesome! Can't wait to see it!

[shumebute]

wow... meg that is awesome



[ineedglitter]

omg i jsut found out that the thing we use to cut our fresh made bread is a turkey cutter o.0

[kiddynamo41]

@ineedglitter Some sautering irons come with a blade attachment to, if not then you can find them separate, that turns them into hot knives. Also really good for cutting foam. Goes through them like butter.

[MsCoolstorybro1]

that was awesome. But, if you don't want the lighting do you need the second (smaller) piece of wood? thankss.

[craftzine]

@MsCoolstorybro1 The second board was also the best way to hang the headboard without seeing the nails. It also creates the "floating" effect. You can hang the board with flush mounts if you can find them (we could not) and omit the second board. great question! xo, Meg

[Umi10]

Meg, Could you please tell me what is Ikea Light called?? Thank You xxx

[craftzine]

@Umi10 DIODER. Of course, some weird/awesome Swedish word:) I am sure you can find other LED strips on-line or at your local hardware store! xo, Meg

[Umi10]

@craftzine Thank You Meg, It would be the same name in the UK - Ikea seems to have universal names for their products - Thanks xxx

[craftzine]

@craftzine LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, so DIODER is quite an apt name!

[ozaki94]

haa.. America, where houses are made out of cardboard =D no offense

[sibh101]

where was your dress in the opening sequence and your necklace from? love them!

[sibh101]

@sibh101 just got to the end of the vid. The Kaftan is DIYed? Where is the necklace from. love it

[craftzine]

@sibh101 I bought that kaftan from Anthropologie on major sale, but am showing you how to make your own DIY kaftan and bedside tables in the next video. Glad you dig it! I MADE the necklace and will show you how in an up-coming Meg Allan Cole Crafts video. So many videos!!!

[craftzine]

@craftzine This is Meg:)

[sibh101]
