I was very pleased with how efficient I was over the weekend. I got work done (day job that pays for all these projects), hung out with friends and family, cleaned the house and hmmm what else? Oh yeah, I ordered my headboard!!! I know, I know. I was supposed to make my own to keep costs down. However, I found everything I was looking for in this headboard for a little bit more than I would pay for materials to make my own. Plus, I'm still exhausted from the whole electrical DIY weekend....
Anyhoo, here is the headboard that is very similar to the ones I was admiring in a previous posting:
I love the curves on this; isn't it so Moroccan? There are two rows of brass nail heads for a little bit of a rustic feel to it and the very top of the headboard is a whopping 66 inches from the floor. Talk about putting drama in a room!!! The only disappointment is production time is approximately 12 weeks.
These are the sample upholstery I brought back with me.
I narrowed down to either the grayish blue velvet fabric or the woven golden beige fabric. Let me tell you, how I loved the velvet one. It definitely added glamour and the extra oomph to the room. The woven fabric I liked very much as well. It did have the casual element that I was looking for to tone down the room. Being the good wife (and the fact that hubby could not have any input until now), I deferred to him to make the decision and he chose...
The woven fabric! It would still be a great look in the room but I will probably incorporate the velvet fabric in the form of euro shams and bolsters. Yes, plural.
Another item crossed off the checklist.
