West Elm Stria bed Headboard Ideas

I fell in love with the Stria Bed from West Elm but it was definitely well over our budget. So, I thought to myself we could build it! I showed the bed to my hubby and he really liked it and was on board to build it with me. So I sketched it up, came up with a list of wood and sizes that we needed them cut up to and off to the Hardware store we went. The first picture below is the official bed from West Elm not mine.

We only made the headboard, not the bed frame, but who knows? maybe in the future (hint, hint babe ;-). And here is our headboard.

Here's the bummer I love the headboard, but I don't love how the stain came out. It's close to the stain from the original one but I don't know, I just don't like it. I haven't sealed it yet because I'm still thinking on whether or not I should change the stain color. I don't know what to do. Should I keep the stain the way it is or add another coat of the oxidizing stain treatment or maybe a different stain or paint or should I just keep it the way it is and seal it already? Or, or, or, or.... Let's see what I end up doing.

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Reveal

Finally, I'm going to share the kitchen cabinet makeover reveal! It took us a lot longer than we expected to get this done. But we are finally putting the paint brushes and the rollers down. At least until we recoup from all the unplanned painting we did these past few weeks. We didn't have a plan for this or a budget because it wasn't in the cards to do this project just yet. I don't know if you recall from this post but this all started because I wanted a cup of tea . First I just wanted to do a quick reorganization, then I started pulling off contact paper , next thing you know I'm removing doors and stripping paint off the kitchen cabinets . We didn't think things through we just went with it. Before we had clumpy, flat painted ugly cabinets. I'm not exaggerating, you can see for yourself here . Whenever we would clean a them the paint would come off because they were not primed. They were painted with a flat, cheap paint that would absorb s

Lining Shelves With Contact Paper

It all started when I wanted to drink a cup of tea! Now what does drinking a cup of tea and lining shelves with contact paper have to do with each other, you ask! Well the cabinet was overstuffed and when I reached out for the tea box, it and other miscellaneous stuff fell out of the cabinet. I thought to myself, while the water for my tea simmers I can quickly empty out the cabinet and reorganize it, it's just a small cabinet it wont take more than 5 minutes, right? Wrong, wrong, wrong! I emptied it out and the contact paper that was put there by one of the previous owners was hanging in the front and I decided it was time to pull it off! Well, once I pulled it off I remembered why it was still there in the first place. When we first moved in, I went to remove the contact paper from one of the other cabinets and there was another paper underneath it that was torn around the edges and I tried to remove it but that thing was super glued. I decided it was a job f

Best Home office Simple Design Ideas Near Me

Our new house has a spare room that we use daily to enter the house and where we greet all of our visitors since it is our main entrance. It quickly became a catch all room where we would just dump everything we didn't want to deal with at the moment. That was a really big problem and it was stressing me out. I wanted to turn it in to a home office space and create a functional entryway. I wanted it to be beautiful and reflect our style and I needed to spend as little as possible. After pic my desk area Planning my desk area I knew what I wanted to do, I was just so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start. So I made a list (I always make a list) and got to work. To make the entryway functional we needed to add hooks for jackets, handbags, etc, etc... and a bench to take off our shoes. We already had a few pieces we planned to reuse in this space. In our previous home we had purchased a shoe cabinet from Ikea that has served us well and was in perfe
