Painting a Tree
Feeling creative one day, the hubster and I decided to use some paint the previous owners left us (we think it is the accent color in our bathroom) and put a little nature in our bedroom. What was a boring wall became decorative and functional tree-hook thingy.
Okay, I am working on a better name. We were pretty excited about how it turned out. We just took the paint and went crazy. The best part about this project is it doesn't take up any space, but really adds a lot to the room.

Curtain Headboard
This week I want to share one of my favorite re-use-it projects ever. I am calling it the "curtain headboard"...ta da!
When we moved into our house (after 3 rented places in 3 years) we had lots of left over obscure-sized curtains and decorations that didn't seem to fit anywhere in our new home. So, I took this 10ft long curtain rod, two single pained curtains and a wall hanging and made it into a decorative head-board. This solution doesn't replace everything a headboard is good for, but it sure is beautiful and adds a lot of height and texture to our bedroom.
