La Raquelita

Two Sundays ago, Rog and I decided to finally take the plunge and make the headboard for the bedroom. We have been talking about for months, so we spent the afternoon shopping and putting it together.

Next on the agenda are the curtains. They will go from the ceiling to the floor and are the same material, white duck cloth, as the headboard. That will begin after the sewing class, though.

The nightstands we created from Aubrey & Lindsay’s blog. It was an über easy project and affordable!

The bedding we got on clearance at Pottery  Barn outlet and the duvet cover (at the end of the bed) was $15 at Target. Woo.

So we will be taking the plunge soon to create our own upholstered headboard. Above are a few good tutorials on how to do one.

The white leather headboard above is what we want but downsized a bit.

Also, of course, we won’t be using leather, b/c that kinda just throws the frugal aspect of diy project that I wanted to accomplish. We will probably substitute it for a white canvas or if we can find a good deal on velvet. I will definitely take pics and post once we decided to actually tackle this project. We have so many other little side projects underway, so it might be another month or so till then. Oh boy!
