Completion of Headboard!!!!

I was sure it would be a 2-3 day project but boy, did I get fooled!  The sun went to bed Saturday night and the marathon headboard project was completed, resplendent with new sheets, dust skirt (not a ruffle!), plant, and a gorgeous reversible microfiber down-like in appearance, bedspread.  I loved how she picked the blanket/sheet...paint on her finger held up as a sample!  She had previously painted the wall and the cream color was painted out with a darker color.  She and her brother jointly picked the same paint swatch, unbeknownst to each other until they met up to compare colors, so that definitely was the pick with no doubts, at all!

Originally the wall was going to stay cream with some seafoam behind it.. You can see some of that peeking through.  After my picture was taken she went back in and carefully painted it the wall color.

Here is a part, actually most, of the process- after she'd already used the air compressor to blow off, who knows how many years of dust.

back from carwash scrub down!
