Case of the Bedroom Blahs


A bedroom is a person's sanctuary. The bedroom should be a room where one can unwind after a long hectic day, relax after a tough day at work, or at least hide out when it's football season and her husband's annoying friends are watching the game downstairs.

My room is definitely lacking in the cozy, homey and relaxing detail. My bedroom is definitely functional but it's missing something. Or maybe I'm just not feeling it anymore. The sleigh bed that I was crazy about three years ago just doesn't do it for me and the curtains don't really add any warmth.




I don't have the time or cash to spend on a plush stylish headboard from Crate and Barrel. So what's a girl to do? I think I am going to make my own upholstered headboard out of 1/2 inch plywood and fabric. Here's a pic of the fabric I picked out. To save money, I'm using a 54 x 84 inch drape from Target.



For the curtains, I like this one. It complements the paint color of the room and coordinates with my bedding accessories.


Stay tuned!
