“I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now…come further up, come further in!” ― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle
On a whim during lunch Josh and I decided to make a headboard. I have hated our current headboard since day one. It’s metal bars are not great for a lazy afternoon read and my pillows frequently slip through the bars. Yes, I realize #firstworldproblems.
So as we sat at Olive Garden for some delicious carbs, we plotted out our dream headboard.
Conveniently enough, Lowe’s is right next to Olive Garden. We left the restaurant, bellies full, and went shopping for wood!
Here is an example of our inspiration.
The plans became real as we walked out of Lowe’s with a truck bed of wood.
Got wood from Lowe’sPrepping border (in retrospect, I regret staining this now….we later sanded the whole project, including the border)
Plotting out designs, initial cuts, and safety first!
Making some headway
Stopping for the night. Still need to finish the sky, sand, and apply the finish. To stain or not to stain? That is the question.
