she’s DONE!

I’m so happy with my new headboard!  She’s finally done.  Check it out! (Please don’t mind that the pillow shams need to be ironed and that our comforter is the wrong size for our bed.)

Dan really took the bull by the horns with this project, thanks honey!  My dad did the first cut of the headboard shape and then I decided I wanted to change it a bit and Dan cut it with his new saw.  Here he is screwing on the legs.

I haven’t added up my receipts to be sure but I estimate the project cost me around $100, so much cheaper (and space saving) than a “real” bed.  Plus I just love all the color it adds to my boring bedroom.  I have all the supplies to make coordinating throw pillows, and as soon as I get my sewing machine here at the new place I’ll make those too.  What do you think?

IT'S BEAUTIFUL JESS!!! I was wondering if you were still working on that project!
It's so funny because we have been planning all winter on making a headboard as a summer project too. We must be related :)
