One more thing to do...

It appears that I look at blogging like it's one more thing on my 'to-do' list, but I'm hoping that will change.

So, I finished the headboard, bed frame and other misc. projects I had going and am not really too proud of any.

I also tried to make a wreath with those great little glass beads, but not long after hot-glueing them to the wreath they are all starting to fall off little by little. Quite frustrating!

So, here are some pics of the projects...like I said, not the best and not exactly how I wanted, but it's a learning process!
Headboard and Bed ~ I used 2'x2' squares and covered them in fabric. The plan was also to use nail-head trim but even using a rubber mallot I could not get them to stay in. I'm thinking I went too thick on the badding. I also planned on sewing a vintage button in the center of each square, however that didn't work out either as I couldn't get a tight enough stitch to hold the button down firmly!

With the bedframe. We went platform style (being that we do not have a boxspring) with some crackling cream/blue paint and some legs for a little height (mainly so I can still store my junk under the bed!)...again not perfect, but does the trick! And, I have to thank the hubs who did all the painful constructing of this bed and many trips to home depot!






This is Bijou's side of the room. Since we share a bedroom I didn't want her side to get left out. Not much too it, but still cute I think. A nice, simple effect.






For over her changing table I simply took some paper flowers and fanned them out on one side only and then tacked them to the wall. It is actually really cute in person and still in the works as I need to get back to the store and get some more of these to fill the wall!


This is Bijou's toy kitchen area. I hung some of my favorite Bijou facial expression's and made her some wall letters! She loves, loves, loves this area!
