By day, Maiju Saha works as a social media marketing specialist and campaign designer. By night and on weekends, the mother of three dives into home improvement projects and blogs about them.

Maiju and her family live in the small town of Vaasa on Finland's west coast. Two years ago they moved into their house and since then she's be puzzling over how to make her and her husband Janne's compact bedroom feel 'less empty without crowding it with furniture.' Taking inspiration from the room's paneled ceiling'and all the paneling she's been admiring in other people's quarters of late'Maiju came up with this DIY built-in headboard of homemade beadboard. She kindly agreed to share the project with us.
