Musical Headboard
A Project From 2011
WHEN WE REMODELED one of our bedrooms as a guestroom, I built a headboard for the bed that included integrated speakers.
The headboard frame is pine with plywood panels added for rigidity. The speakers had their own mounting system and simply needed correctly sized holes to latch onto. The headboard frame is wrapped with a length of rollup blind material made from narrow strips of some type of reed or bamboo. The gaps between the strips provide sufficient voids for sound to penetrate, and yet the blind material is dense enough, overall, to obscure the wood and speakers behind it. It’s capped with a top rail made from building up three different molding profiles.
