DIY | The umpteenth way to make a headboard
26 July 2015 • home, howto
The regular readers of this blog will plainly be asking: what are you talking about?
Well, as you ask so nicely, a headboard is in fact the piece of furniture that you have (or lack of) to lean on when you read in bed. You see? That standing thing behind your back at the side of your bed?
Somewhat 10 years ago (Yes, I dreamed of headboards at 17.. No. I'm only joking), I decided I wanted to have a proper grown up, classy headboard. Something like this:
Or maybe like this:
Well, yeah, I love the style "classy hotel room" and without the money to buy one of those beds, I figured I should make my own.
Just now, I realize the photos that follow those first ones are going to make you weep from disgust. Sorry.
Disclaimer: This post is actually a very important one as it is the first proper DIY post of this blog. To remind many of you, interiors and DIYing stuff is my passion #1 (without being a serial DIYer). I'm addicted to renovation blogs and the like so today, I'm very proud. ☺
Let's get started, shall we?
Wedding | Guest Book and Questions Cards Updated
23 July 2015 • wedding
In this old post, I told you about a friend of mine about to get hitched. In two weeks actually.
The bride gave us a choice of some tasks to accomplish for the wedding and I volunteered to find a cute guest book.
A few months back the said book arrived straight from Australia (from Kikki-K, to be precise, my favourite stationary shop, yes!-take-that-in-your-face-Paperchase!) in a lovely gift pouch.
I scoured the net for ideas and I talked about making questions cards for the guests who won't have an idea about what to write/never know what to say/will be too shy to express their true feelings etc.
