DIY Headboard Inspiration

Well, I thought I had it figured out, I thought that I was going to put this perfectly Chippy old window in my bedroom over my bed, I thought it had the right amount of grunge and grease, IT WAS PERFECT! Then I decided i didn't like the grunge so i cleaned it, then i didn't like the fact that it was creme and not white.... THEN my husband sat on the bed and bumped his head and down the window came.... so yet again there is a bare spot over my bed. 

This leads me on the search today for some headboard inspiration!

Although I love the look of the old wood, I do not think my Husband would appreciate the wooden background. 

This is another interesting headboard made with a pallet. 

How about an old door instead? 

This is the way that I think that I will be going, but instead of white, i would like a black leather looking headboard instead. 

I do have some more windows stashed, and they may end up above the headboard on the bed just gotta get them all figured out! I will post more on the headboard designs and ideas once it starts to come together!

Coloradolady: Tell Me Tuesday

Week One Question: ( In keeping with the new year)

What is your number one goal for the next six months?

My goal over the next six months is just to live life to the fullest and forget about all of the crud and crap that people try to throw into life. I have learned lately that I have spent so much time dwelling into the past, and listening to what people say. This year it is going to be about me and my family. Spending some much needed time together, and getting my things together. I think we should be living for ourselves and our families and not for the opinons of others. So here I go, doing things for myself and my child and husband! Happy 2012 to everyone!

Christmas Decorations

I hope that everyone out there in blog land had a very merry Christmas, while i took the decorations down over the last few days at least i will have the pictures to remind me of our Christmas. I am very proud of my Shiny Brite Christmas tree, i loved all of the hand painted ornaments that my mom and I had been collecting this year. I just wanted to give you a short preview of the decorations.

These great little things are mercury glass beaded spikes, they were a nice little touch in the tree.

 

 

 

These little snowmen are Hallmark ornaments i have been collecting for my son since he was born. One for each Christmas we have had. There are also the reindeer behind him that we found thrift storing. There is a small reindeer, so we call them ourselves in reindeer form :)

This is a great Vintage Santa my mom picked up for me in a Auction. Its pretty funny that my little sister and best friend think that this guy is quite creepy, and cant stand to be in the same room as him!

This Santa is a great drummer, my mother also picked this up for me in a auction. I just love the rosy little cheeks of the old Santa's

One of my favorite things about Christmas are these Bubble lights, i wish i could get my hands on a few more sets.

This is my son's Christmas tree, red and silver ornaments, with a bunch of Hallmark ones thrown in there. He loves that he gets his own tree.

This is my entry way table, although i need to find a nice sideboard or buffet this table will do for now. I made the glittery noel signs and found the tree printable online.

This set was probably one of my favorite finds this year, its our fat nativity scene! Found it at the local goodwill for only $8. I think it looks great stacked on the old suitcases.

Well just wanted to share our holiday spirit with you guys, i have been off for over a week, and have to return to work on Tuesday... this holiday has been great for me I have spent so much time with family friends and celebrated everything we love.

Happy Hunting
