Here is the guest bedroom after finishing the drywall and putting in the new windows. Still didn't have the new ceiling or floors. This picture was taken almost a year ago exactly.
This is the guest bedroom today. The window still needs to be trimmed out, and there are a few decorating things it lacks, but in general it looks pretty close to finished.
The guest bedroom a year ago.
The bed today, with new headboard hung.
This headboard was made using a 30"x80" hollow core door cut down to 30"x60". I had a pillow that was weird and kind of gross that I tore open to find that it laid flat the same size as my headboard would be. That may not make any sense. Oh well. My mother-in-law helped me with this project last weekend. We glued down the stretched open pillow, then stretched and stapled batting over the whole thing. We then took two $10 curtain panels from Fred's, tore them into 3 inch strips long ways and short ways, stapled the top, and wove the pieces. Once woven, they were all secured on the back with my staple gun. I may go back someday and add a ribbon detail around the edge... but who knows. Well, this post goes out to my mom who always likes to see what new things we have done. Thanks for the support.
