This is my bedroom 

and the headboard that I built

from fence pickets 10 or 12 years ago.

 

 

Well, this is how it has looked

for the past seven years,

since moving into our old

1905 cottage home.

 


 

This was me painting it pink

seven years ago.

 




 

This is my re-do underway. 

 


 

 My nice long farmhouse table came

in handy for cutting wall paper.

 



And the big sink in the kitchen

was a great size for soaking

it before booking and hanging.

 



 

I've gone 5 feet above the 

base board with the paper.

It is paint-able wainscotting paper.

 


 

I purchased some new hardware

but I also painted some of 

the old hardware black. 

 

 

  

 

 

I was planning on going thrifting

 for a new secondhand headboard,

but after finding a large scrap

of plywood in Steve's shop

I decided to make my own. 


 

 

Well, here are some photos

of my finished room.

 


 

It's nothing fancy

and it's wonky because 

I am a Crazy Lady DIYer

and I am not skilled with special

tools . . . I just do it

however I can figure it out.

 



 




I like that 

"Crazy Lady DIYer"

if I could rename my blog

I think that would be a good name :)



 

These shells hanging from the ceiling

are very special to me.

Steve and I purchased them in a

little shop in Seattle on our honeymoon

back in 1976.





 
 
 

 

The hinges, the lamps and the wallpaper

were all purchased from Amazon

using my air-miles 

and the paint was left over

from the living room.

 

That really helped with 

the cost of the update ☺
 



 

Before I say good-bye . . .

I would like to thank those 

of you that sent me cards.

You warmed my heart, thank you :)
