I forgot what having ideas was like
I know that I've been out-of-touch with life for the past few months with moving. We are down to unpacking office and computer part boxes which can't be done until tomorrow when our built-in desk is installed. (Pictures of that to come!) Now that things seem to have a little more order and control, it's project time!
The master in our last house was always lacking. I never felt like anything went brilliantly together. I might have shuffled through about 3-5 comforter sets after painting to try and make it all work, but it wasn't fabulous. We sold our bedroom furniture before we moved which exiled us to sleeping on our mattress on the floor. When we moved into the new house we did splurge by buying a $35 bed frame. However, we are still sporting some not-so-fabulous 18-gallon plastic tubs as our bedside tables. Project Time!
Through my endless days of nothing (insert laugh here), I've stumbled across some blogs of some crafty gals. Friends, I'm now happy to announce that my creative mo-jo is working again. I've got plans, paint swatches, and sketches. Time to get the Hubs' approval on a design concept and move forward...right after I stain the deck and seal the fence. Wait, what?!?!?
Current Plans Include: painting, trimming an accent wall, curtains, dimmers on lighting, re-purposing Hubs' gun cabinet, and making a fabric covered headboard (you know...the ones you can buy for $1,000 but make for $200).
I'll let you know how things go and how many splinters I acquire with the deck-sealing project!

No! Love it!
That website is wonderful! I am hoping to make the queen bed and loft or bunk bed for my boys! So glad I looked at your blog.
