Do It Myself - Headboard

My $5 wooden headboard from the garage sale site on facebook! Thanks Tammy!


Quilt batting from my stash.
Material from Joann's
Ta-Da! Not bad huh? Still working on the room, but better than it was :)

another update (for you, Jean!)

With the appliances - I do not like the fluorescent light - so Jay has already taken it down and we have a 'normal' light to put in its place. And yes the green is still there..can't wait to get that out of there.

living room before - a muted purple/taupe color (yuck!)

First coat of "orange peel coral" (or something like that)

Our third "helper"

We are trying to get as much done as possible before the little guy arrives. I worked at the house from 8:30 to 5:30 today. Hopefully tomorrow Jay and his dad will get the two kids rooms painted. Carpet to be installed Thursday and Friday.

workin' on the house

Sorry if you adore this green, but I dislike, really dislike it.

Here is my version - the green along the top will be replaced with borough brown as will the hallway in the right of the right of the picture. The door will eventually be white also. I can't believe they painted it green!!
