Project of the Week: Headboard

Last Monday I showed you my {unfinished} headboard.

Here is what it looks like now...

I LOVE it SOOOO much!! I can't believe it took me this long to finish it! I still need to decorate, so pay no attention to the blank walls! I will give you a little run through of how I finished the headboard.

First: I painted it "Antique White"

I really loved the way it looked at this stage and was kind of sad to continue.

{but I knew it would look soooo much better if I did}

Second: I gave it a light sanding {this is a very important step}

Third: I painted it black. {I forgot to take a picture}

Fourth: I sanded all the edges by hand, and then I sanded the rest with an electric sander

I don't have the best camera, so these pictures don't really do it justice.

This weeks project...

A Craft Table!

Chris decided that he was tired of seeing all my scrapbook stuff everywhere he turned! {I can't help it, I'm addicted} So he told me to find something I liked and he would make it for me!

The only difference will be that my table will be painted "Antique White", and Chris wants to add some extra moulding! I am super excited! I am in one of those moods where I want to get organized, and I know this will help do the trick!

On an side note, Chris said that he is willing to make any these things {or anything you have a picture of} for you! Just contact me for any specifics and pricing!

What are you working on this week??

Very Vintage Easter Swap!

I was so excited to participate in this Swap! Here are the things that I made for my partner Lindsey...

I left this frame open so she could put a picture or favorite quote behind it.

Happy April!
