This day is long overdue, after starting my daughter's room re-design wa-a-a-a-a-y back in June,
I am finally finished the headboard!
I could blame my husband for the delay, as I was waiting for him to help me cut out the headboard shape, but two weeks ago with the sun shining I decided to bite the bullet and fire up the jig saw.
It took some courage to start up the jig saw, I have a fear of lightening fast moving sharp blades with the power to cut off appendages.
I am happy to say that all my fingers are intact and now I can show you the results of all my hard work.
The headboard has been finished for over a week but I was patiently waiting for the sun to shine. Photographing on the "wet" coast is a challenge as our sunny days are limited.
Without further adieu......
May I present:
{A diamond tufted headboard}
