Hello! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July last week. We didn’t do anything special for the holiday, but I do have something special to share with you today. We have been working on our upholstered beds for a few weeks, completing a little at a time. I still have a few things left to do with the bed, but most of the headboard is done. Here’s a quick peek.
I rushed over to the Goodwill this morning to buy a stack of books and teacups to decorate the desk. I actually wanted ceramic bowls instead of teacups, but I couldn’t find any. Hopefully, on my way home I can find some at another location. I may need to replace them anyway, if Breeze is a bad boy while we are away and knocks them over.
The gray headboard is upholstered in white twill tape and nickel upholstery nailheads. Putting the nailheads on took longer than I expected! It took us most of Saturday to finish up the entire headboard! I’m happy to say that I still have my fingers, although the headboard did get dropped on my ankle, but the swelling has now subsided! I’ve always been very prone to accidents.
My to-do list is shrinking week by week. I still have to sew the gray and white striped fabric from my stash into pillow shams, it’s just draped over the pillow for now. I think I may prefer the chair pictured above over the other one below. It needs a little work, especially on the seat and I think I like the less ornate look, the cane makes it appear too busy.
I’m on the search for a nice throw and maybe some fabric for my euro pillows, I still haven’t decided if I want to use them yet.

Hey Cassie, thanks! I hope you’re doing well. You didn’t lose any power last week right? I think I want to add some royal blue in a ikat pattern as a pillow or bedding.

That headboard is awesome!
Thanks Kim! It was hard work too! It’s actually an entire bed that was made. But my room is still too messy to take pics haha
