my boyfriends.

After weeks of searching for a quirky and cheap headboard for our guest room I found exactly what I wanted.

Ish.

So I packed up the girls, made the trek, bargained it down to $20!!!, loaded it in the van, drove home and introduced it to my other boyfriend, Spray Paint.

I nestled it on top of my new canvas tarp and gave it a nice coat of primer. (Why I have been doing messy home improvement projects for the past ten years without one is beyond me.  Probably the best $23 I have ever spent.  Cleaning paint spills off of concrete is both no fun, but now a thing of the past.)  I was tempted for a minute to leave it white, but white is too safe.  I don't like safe.  I like quirky.  I like unexpected.  I like color.

Add a can of Valspar's Mediterranean, edible pillows from Meg, a few quilts, and the room is ready for it's inaugural guest.

I couldn't have done it without my lovely boyfriends.

Who's staying over?
