Crib to Headboard Transformation Complete
Finally, after I started this project forever ago, I’m done with my drop-side crib to headboard transformation! Here’s what our bedroom and bed looked like before: Nice college-style bedroom. Note the absolute lack of design elements. Here’s what it looks like now: Oh my…
The Headboard Is Almost Finished
Today was beautiful here, if a bit chilly for spring, and I took advantage of the nice weather to work on a few of my ongoing projects. I thinned the stand of bamboo some more and then stripped the pruned canes so that now…
