DIY weekend

For four years our bedroom has been an assortment of random sheets, pillows, and blankets that don't match.  It has been low on the priority of rooms to complete both in our old house and now in the new house.  It made me feel like I was still in undergraduate where I slept wherever/whenever I could.  


I wanted a serious change.  So, Ashley came down to help me shop for bed linens and create an upholstered headboard for our master bedroom.  I knew what I wanted, but I was just a little nervous to do it by myself.  I think it turned out really awesome! 

Now if we only had blinds so we could take the sheets off the windows and furniture that matched...  :)  Here's to one thing at a time.

To top it all off, Ash and I were able to find all the batting, foam, and fabric for the headboard ON SALE (50% off).  The project ended up being REALLY easy on the pocket book.  I couldn't decide if I wanted to do tufting on it.  Maybe I'll do that later.  


On another note, that same weekend, I banged up my car.  I was being extra cautious not to back my car into Ashley's truck as I backed out of the garage and ended up crunching the front bumper on my car in to the garage wall.  How dumb is that?  Some days I'm a total space cadet.  It didn't dent my car, it just took off a couple streaks of paint.  It still made me sick to my stomach.  


Oh well...
