sigh...

yesterday, i found the perfect headboard on craigslist. for $25. i had dreams... what color would i paint it? should i just stain it darker to match our nightstands? the possibilities.

and then i found out it had already sold days earlier. why don't people delete their ads once an item has sold? they get irritated when people keep calling/emailing about something... you would think they would remove their ad a little sooner. but i digress.

anyway, d really liked it (surprise! usually he doesn't like stuff like this. maybe i've just worn him down...) so i might see if my fil can cutout something similar that i could just paint. or glue fancy paper all over...

and while i would really love to build an upholstered headboard, i want this to be really cheap since we have so many other things we need to do around the house. unfortunately, foam is not very cheap and i'm having a hard time deciding what kind of fabric i would want to use. so... i'm thinking either find one (haven't been too successful with that) or cut one out of wood...
