I still can't find the battery charger for my camera, but I figured out how to send my email pictures from my new phone, so they will have to do for now!
I have been wanting a metal or iron headboard for quite some time. I already had a pretty curvy dresser with mirror, and matching night stands, so I needed a headboard. I considered making my own, was never really thrilled with any wooden headboard I found. I'm not so much about things matching, but I didn't want to bring in another type of furniture that wouldn't really compliment the pieces I already had. (Sorry if I am losing you, this is my decorator brain talking :o)
You would think a metal/iron headboard would be easy enough to come by. I was having a terrible time finding one. If I found an antique/vintage one, it was too small for my queen mattresses. I found few new ones that I kinda liked, but most were out of my price range. I was able to find a few online, but its always tricky purchasing things like that online. I couldn't find much on ebay, if there was one I liked it was most definitely located in California or Maine. All my goodwill/dav/thrift store trips turned up nothing. I had pretty much given up on this endeavor, when I happened across this:
Now, you can imagine my excitement! Could it be? Did I finally find...the one? What's this you say? A
foot board to match?? for all of $29.97? SOLD!!! In this picture it looks like its a pretty brown color, like so many you see in other blogs and magazines. It was actually a hunter green
faux marble type design. I was left with no choice. A few cans of spray paint later:
Isn't it lovely? I can't wait to share some detailed shots. It looks short here because I just used a bed frame to hold up for painting, so this isn't the right bed frame. I was out painting in the sun, which is therapeutic in some strange way. It wasn't long before Austin and Brooklyn came out to help. At least he brought a radio. My job was to point out all the spots he missed. :o) I had a vision when I first saw this bed, but its even prettier than I imagined. I love it when things like this happen...another God gift! I think I need a label for God gifts. I see mounds of soft, lacy, white pillows and soft, warm covers you can just get lost in. I can't wait until it all comes together! Maybe a beautiful Christmas wreath at the foot of the bed...in all whites... (I admit, I'm already dreaming of decorating for Christmas. I'm okay, really. Just keep me away from the beautiful Christmas isles at Hobby Lobby!)
I have so much to share, I'm so behind!
To my dear Beverly, I just saw your comment on my last post. I'm headed for bed now, but I will be in touch soon!
