Be My Guest

Since we are SO BLESSED to be near family our guest room tends to get a lot of welcomed and wanted traffic. In this house the guest area has it's own bathroom and I really wanted to make it comfy so that friends and family would frequent as often as they could. The way the room was arranged the bed had to go in front of the window but we had no headboard.. solution: Goodwill $13 brass headboard - it has some loose sections that we fixed right up with some "gorilla glue."

I used spray paint primer and finished it off with the color Dark Bronze by Rustoleum

Here's the finished headboard:

I had a really hard time finding {affordable} premade curtains with a print that I liked - So I decided to make my own - straight simple panels (it took maybe an hour) Why haven't I done this before?! for two panels the total cost was $35

This is how they look in the room: total room make-over $48

I can't wait to come and stay. The curtain fabric is beautiful. You did a great job on the headboard.
