How difficult is it to build a bed and headboard that is tufted?

I’ve been looking for a specific looking bed online and I’m not finding anything I really like. I want and higher bed with a tall wingback headboard that is upholstered and tufted. I am not as worried about upholstering it myself because I have done some other upholstered projects. But I’m wondering if building a headboard and footboard is a realistic thing I could do. The bed frame I have now is a wood headboard and footboard with the metals rails somehow fastened into the wood legs, I pretty sure I could use the rails and slats and just make a new headboard and footboard. I wouldn’t be doing it by myself completely but I’m looking for any advice or suggestions I’m trying to save as much as I can with this project but anything is better than paying thousands for a cheap ugly bed! submitted by /u/loud_beaver [link] [comments]
