projects i've done

I got together with 2 friends and we made upholstered headboards. This one is for my room, I'll post pictures when I actually have it hung. And I made another one that is a more simple camelback in tan suede with bronze upholstery nails around the edges for my guest room. It was so fun and easy! Next we are going to make benches to go at the foots of the beds.

Silhouettes for the staircase. These were harder than I thought. None of the proportions worked out and it's hard to tell who is who. Oh well, the overall effect is cute.

Tree for Avery and Izzy's wall after my friend Dana toned it down a bit to make it more whimsical.

Tree as I originally did it, a little heavy on the scrapbook paper flowers. I went to the trouble to make them and I hated having so many left over so I just put them all out. Dana pruned it.

Painted my old, yucky, brown piano black and had the bench recovered.

And of course the biggest project I've worked on was the nursery. You've seen me mention my neighbor Dana a few times on my blog... I don't know what I would do without her! We share a love of decorating (not that I'm any good at it, but I still love it!) and she is attempting to take her hobby to a more professional level and has started a blog and working as an interior decorator. Because she loves me she wanted to help me do my nursery. While we know themed nurseries aren't "in", we did a golf theme anyway because this is Chad's one and only shot at having a boy. Since she did a whole post about the nursery on her blog, I'll just connect you there if you want to see it so that I don't have to repost pictures.... Oh, and don't be distracted by the giant "E" over the crib constructed out of a golf club... That was just for the pictures so that we would have an initial. Once we name the baby I'll put a big, gold initial over the crib. Maybe it will be an E, maybe it won't, but I will tell you one thing: it will not stand for Eben!
