So my latest project = re-doing my room! I guess all these beautiful pinterest pictures finally got to me and I couldn't seem to be able to live in my obnoxiously green room* any longer! Haha. Anyways, one of the new additions to my room is a new headboard! I have never had a headboard or ever even cared about headboards, until I saw the inspiring and beautiful headboard pictures below that were floating around pinterest. Aren't they just fun??
I love the tree branch/painting on this one!
Love the wood in this one! And I'm drooling over that gray snuggly throw on the bottom of the bed...yes please.
And here is the universal dream-picture for a headboard...love love love it!
*And here is my obnoxiously green room. I hate that this is the only picture I have of my old room! It's so messy and ugly in this picture, so don't judge it too hard. I did love this color all throughout highschool! But it was time. for. a. change.
So one saturday afternoon, I pushed all my furniture in the middle of my room and painted my room a beautiful cement-grey color. I live in the basement and my room has no windows or natural light, so I was a little worried the grey might get to dark, but I looove how it turned out. I splurged a little bit and bought my paint from Sherwin-Williams instead of Walmart, and I was sooooo impressed with the coverage one coat of the SW paint had!! I'm hooked.
Dad has a bunch of old barn-wood out in the barn, so we figured out a little barnwood headboard together! All it is is a bunch of panels screwed together, it took like 20 minutes! I also painted my bookshelf a nice yellow. Mhhhh, I'm on such a yellow kick these days.
I thought the headboard looked a little too grey itself on the already-grey wall, so Mom and I white-washed it with watered-down white paint.
I found the tree-decal from Target (love!) and just stuck it on my headboard for now. I may paint something on there later, but by this point I was just ready to be done! I bought the "RELAX" letters from hoblob and modge-podge-covered them with napkins I found at Target, because I couldn't seem to find any good yellow patterned scrapbook paper anywhere!
Tahhhdahhh! And there is my version of a headboard! It was sooo easy and fun, and its like, my favorite part of my room these days!
