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....

Do you have any great sites for finding fabric at a good deal?
