build or buy???

Ok, so as much as I would love to be, I am not the queen of DIY.  Heck, I am not even in the court. But, I am debating making an upholstered headboard for my daughter's room. The only thing is I found one I could buy at Ballard Designs for a not too bad price. Do I build or buy??

I have thought about the pros and cons of both--

Store Bought

Pros-

• No work involved besides the click of my mouse
• Can buy ready-made slipcovers for it that I can toss in the washer when it gets dirty
• Can have slipcover monogrammed with her initials

Cons-

• Could potentially be spending more money than it costs to make one
• Pre-determined shape; no chance to to get creative

DIY (based on a headboard from Dwell Studio)

Pros-

• I have a handy husband who happens to have the majority of July off, which means plenty of time to help me with this project
• Get to create the exact shape I want

Cons-

• I have absolutely zero patience when it comes to this stuff
• Afraid the cost to build the headboard will equal to the cost to buy

What to do? What to do??
