How was your week-end?
mine was great ~ after cleaning up from the
weather bomb that hit us on Friday
it was smooth sailing
albeit bone chilling cold
the rest of the week-end
Our game night was fun ~ which we always have fun
and
I ended up making
baked nacho dip ~ yummy yummy
to go along with our board game
and our beverages
Sunday I played around with my headboard project
this is what it looks like now
a la Trading Spaces
plywood, quilt batting and staples
I did not tuft this one as the fabric was too busy
but the new fabric I got has no pattern so I think it needs
a little kick
I looked around on the web to find the best way to affix my buttons
and there are many tutorials out there
but
since it is wood it seemed like an awful lot of trouble
to drill holes ~ affix something to the back
and then sew the buttons on insuring they are tight enough
to give the desired effect
I came up with an alternative option
I bought these last week-end on our Saturday excursion
and thought why can I not just
measure and nail these into the wood
ta da
and since I am using these buttons
after they are covered with the same fabric
I can just use my trusty glue gun
to glue them over the nail
I cannot wait to try it ~ but first I need to paint!
and speaking of paint
I thought I knew which one I wanted
so I got the little sample pot
it's called Stony Creek
and I am not sure if it is too green and a bit too dark
then I asked Trev what he thought
we agreed that the butterscotch color was off the table
it's the one marked "out"
2 of them were too light ~ especially after I
held the curtain fabric up to the swatches
so that leaves us with the dark one
and the top one which is a happy medium
so back to the store I go
to see if I can find the little sample pot in the top color
once we get them both on the wall
I think we can make a decision.
I am very excited about this project
because in April we will have been in this house for 9 years
and the only thing that we have done with our bedroom
is paint it the day before the furniture was moved in
we have some very dated pieces in it
and I promise to take before and after pics
of the entire room.
Wishing you a marvelous Monday!
