More Projects

BEFORE
This is called 'the slatboard'... aka: why not be a headboard?And these are called the file drawers... aka: why not be nightstands?

Ta Da!

The headboard: $10 buckaroonigans + $15 for the fabric ($2.50/yd at Wallyworld - lowest I've ever seen it)
Would've liked a nice damask print like the exact one on the background of my blog... or this one...but could only find it for $25/yd.... until today.
Found it here for $6.98/yd.
Good thing I didn't find that last week or I might have succumbed to the purchase.
Let's see... 6 yards x $6.98 = $41.88. Hmmmmmmmm!


The 'nightstands' were $5 each plus $5 for each totally sweet, chunky nob.
I'm not totally in love with the file drawers as night stands.
I think their going to be moved back to their original purpose in life and go in the office.
I'm sure the DI will have another fabulous set of nightstands waiting for me soon.

Another project...
The Bookshelf
$10

Before....
And after...
Who knew molding cost so much?
But so worth it.

Can you show us how you did it, kind of a step by step the way that the Pioneer woman does it with her cooking recipes? I am trying to paint my bathroom cabinets and have no idea how to start. Do you use latex paint? HELP!
