board it up.

I have spent a lot of time laying in bed staring at the walls while I have been sick and this morning I decided on my next project. It is time for a headboard. I am committed to getting this done by December and it is definitely a doable project (probably in a weekend), I just need to find the time to get it done. In the meantime, Step 1 is I need to figure out the shape.

Here are some initial thoughts. At first, I was thinking something with a little bit of curve...

Or an interesting corner to add shape to our small, square bedroom.

But now I am thinking of a basic rectangle. I like the straight lines (it also will be easier to make on my virgin try at this!). I am also leaning strongly toward doing a tufted headboard, so it will have some detail to it. The dark tufted headboard below is calling my name loudly right now!

When I get back from NY, I am going to throw up a sketch on the wall to feel it out for a couple days...

And then on to Step 2...stay tuned!
