I've been asking my dh for months to help me make a padded headboard for our bed. We have a large drafty window right over the bed and it faces the methhead neighbors house, so I never open it and always kept the drapes drawn. I wanted that window GONE. (there are 2 other windows in the room that face a different direction thank goodness.) Finally today I got him to help me, using my birthday as an excuse. LOL
I even got to put up a floral pattern (which he normally wouldn't want) since it was MY special treat. LOL I put foam padding and a couple of layers of batting inside and attached it directly to the wall; so it will be comfy to lean against to read or watch tv.
The next project in there is to get a bunch of white wood shelves up for my vase collection and replace the ugly ceiling light over the foot of the bed with a cute little crystal chandelier I picked up. I have only the one blue wall in there, but wanted it to bring out the blue in the fabric. I have mostly white with other colors from that fabric accented through out the room. So I'm finally getting the comfy cottagey bedroom I've been wanting!
