headboard: done!

Before:

The whole project cost around $60. I'm still playing with their placement. Imagine my surprise when they wound up being plastic! The hinges I have don't exactly make them stand they way I was hoping. But since they are so light weight, I may just rig something to hang them on the wall with. I'm very happy with how they look in all their five feet glory! Certainly helps fill up that wall!

Tomorrow is Jason's birthday and we're going out of town--hope you all have a great weekend! See you on Monday! []

Ooh! The UPS man just dropped off my ticking stripe fabric! Wee! More on that on Monday!

  1. The plastic does probably make them easier to hang, bonus. I like them.

  3. This looks great! It's really going to be nice with your new ticking.
    I feel for ya... burning your eyes out on the net trying to find the right fabric!

    Good for you for not going in the sun. I've been pale for a few years now myself. It was a lot of fun to get the airbrushed tan for the wedding tho!

    Sorry your MR was ill on his b-day. Hope you find something fun to do to make it up.
