DIY: Ever Changing Headboard!
(pic from Better Homes and Gardens)Hi everyone, I know we are all looking forward to the weekend, so here is a good quick project that will change your whole bedroom decor.
When my husband and I moved into our current home the bedroom was pretty tiny and had windows everywhere, including on the only wall that we could put the bed. We needed a headboard because slamming our heads into the window sill every night just wasn't an option. So we took a piece of plywood covered it with a flat sheet (since we don't use them) and hung the raised panels that my mother made for us as a backboard in our old home and hung them on the plywood, voila! Perfect headboard. But it is what it is, a Moroccan themed headboard that can not be changed out. And with my creative mind I like variety. I came across this cute and simple idea for a head board that you can change to go with the your linens, at Better Homes and Gardens.

All you need is a staple gun, fabric, and a cheap artist canvas. And its as simple as "pulling fabric across the frame and securing with a staple gun." Its cheap and elegant. Now if you want to be more creative, if you don't use your flat sheets like me, use that and stencils (or freehand) to design your own decorative fabrics.
Alright and there you have it! Check out the next entry for our monthly contest.
