DIY Headboard

Two weeks ago Sven and I spent most of our Saturday building this headboard. We just followed the tutorial with only one modification - I didn't buy the 2 inch foam squares but instead bought 2 full size foam bed toppers each for $10. I saved about $40 going that route. Here is the final product...

The fabric is an upholstery fabric from Calico Corners. Since it was so thick the hardest part was making the buttons. I highly recommend the above tutorial if you're considering making a tufted headboard.

Wordless Wednesday: Our Fur Child

I can't believe we've had this cute face for a little over a year. Even though he takes up a lot of our time, attention and eats a lot of carpet, we wouldn't want it any other way. He sure does make us laugh a lot!

A List

I currently don't have any pictures taken of some of the projects we've been working on, so this post is just going to be bulleted list.

This past weekend we made a tufted headboard for our room. I followed this tutorial and am very pleased with the way it turned out. It was definitely time consuming but very well worth the end result.

We also worked on cleaning up our backyard and preparing for cooler weather. This included raking leaves, mowing the yard on last time, weeding and taking apart the vegetable garden.

On Saturday we got together with some friends and went to a local bar/restaurant to watch the Penn State football game. Unfortunately we didn't do so well.

The rest of the weekend involved cleaning, laundry and grocery shopping. Fun, fun!

This week is going to be a busy week at work, but as soon as I have time to post pictures of the upholstered headboard I will. So stay tuned...
