One Off The To Do List

Remember that queen headboard from Craigslist?

I finally checked that project off the

"Fixing To Do" list.

I didn't distress the headboard yet, or

darken it with dark wax. 

I'm not sure if I'll leave it white. It

depends on what color I paint the walls.

But, for now, it seems to brighten up

the room.

I'm looking for two smaller wood

bedside tables that I can paint.

The ones we have are too large and too

dark. We bought them for the king-size

bed frame, then we decided to go down

to a queen.

I found an old comforter and pillow

shams in a closet. I think they're from

around 1997 when I was in my

"I'm a little bit country" days.

Yes, I'm a hoarder, no doubt!

We're using these temporarily until we

decide what color we'll paint the walls

and then we'll find bedding to match.

I bought a bed skirt at Pottery Barn

last Sunday. I'm hoping the wrinkles

fall out by themselves. 

I put our bench at the foot of the bed,

but it looks odd so I removed it.

I haven't told Wild Bill yet, but I'm

thinking he could build a foot-board

like the headboard.

Here's a photo of the back.

I think maybe a 4x4 with a fence

cap and a round thingy on top.

I actually have four similar round thingies,

left over from an old bed frame we had.

And four of the fence caps too!

I told you I was a hoarder, right?

Well, one down...

and about 98 other projects to go!

Completion.

What are you planning to finish this year?

I'm joining parties here this week:
