HEADBOARD....FOUND

Originally, I planned to make my own headboard. Then, while putting together a post for my other blog Swoon Worthy Boutique, I realized I really wanted a headboard similar to the headboard Dayka found at Goodwill:

I decided to check out Craigslist to see if I would have any luck and guess what?


Whoot Whoot!!! I hit the jack pot!!! Oh, and please ignore the Christmas wreath on the door! I am going to paint this baby the same color as my trim (Behr paint and primer "heavy Cream") and she is going to be such a beaut! And for those of you who are interested in the the price of the headboard......$35 whoot whoot!!! By the time you read this, I'll be getting down to business on this project! Stay tuned....

Love BOTH headboards! Awesome. Even though I don't necessarily need a headboard for anything right now, I'm jealous. :-) Can't wait to see it painted and in your room.

Are you praying it or hand painting? I was looking to finish spraying some items of my own, but I'm not sure if it's too cold outside . . . .

I wish I knew who bought that other headboard and could see how they were using it. I should've carved my info into the back of it, lol! I know not to call during nap time today, because I'm clear about what you'll be doing!

This reminds me so much of my headboard, though mine was gold in a former life.

I love the look of yours. Here's mine if you're curious...

Hi There
some advice needed:
I'm Looking to purchase [url=http://www.milesgershon.com/tv-stands.html][b]TV Stands[/b][/url] or TV [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]Wall Units[/b][/url] For a house I'mclosing on.
Can you folksgive me a good recommendation of where is the topplace to buy these? I live in Alabama and I heard that the big thing about these [url=http://www.milesgershon.com][b]tv stands[/b][/url] is the cost of shipping and installation.
I also found this great article about wiring your entertainment center: http://www.helium.com/items/1577888-how-to-wire-your-home-entertainment-center

much appreciated
