Handmade Headboard
Having decided to "Go Green", but still wanting to make my bedroom reflect the style that I wanted, I decided to take it upon my own two hands and make my own headboard. I couldn't find any stores that sold headboards as cool as this one anyways.
Made from a piece of ply wood from Home Depot, I "padded" the plywood with canvas fabric form my local fabric warehouse. I found this awesome mirror with cut out mirrored pieces puzzled together and mounted it with a drill in one hand and a vision in the other. I get compliments every single time I have a visitor!
3-D Paper Art
Surrounding myself in charcoal and pure white walls was not an option for a creative art nerd like myself. Big, blocky art in frames was too consuming of my walls (I like clean walls with splashes of fun!), so I gravitated my creative energy to make something fun, different, and that would cost my pennies.
Having come across some metallic metal colored thick paper, I got the idea to make some 3-D art for my bare spaces. Intertwining the strips that I diligently cut myself was way too much fun. Secure it with a little super tacky glue, and your wall is bare no more. Just being in my room makes me want to open my own art gallery!
