Big Boy Bed DIY

1
com The day has come to move to a big boy bed! I looked around some furniture stores and of course craigslist, but I couldn't find one I liked. However I stumbled upon this site and I absolutely loved the idea of DIY an upholsted bed. Here is my inspiration, from Land of the Nod, As you wish upholsted bed. Isn't he beautiful! But at $999.00 before shipping unfortunately, it's not in my budget.

And here is what I bought from Ikea! Its the Fjellse Bed Frame. I know its not much to look at but just wait.

First we built up the frame to make it taller. I had Home Depot cut the thinist particle board to size and then used 1x1 that I cut with a hand saw. Then screwed them together with brackets.

I got the fabric from Fabric.com. And this is my other assistant, Rocky!

Covered headboard with a twin size bed foam topper from Walmart.

Painted the frame with my free quart of paint, thank you Ace Hardware!

Bedframe, slats, wood, screws, brackets, foam, fabric, and paint, total under $123.00!

Fabric Boxes

I have been slowly trying to get organized. And I mean slowly. So here my first organization project for the year.

And this is what it looked like before.

These fabric boxes were really easy to make. I got the tutorial here. The fabric actually matches the wall color exactly :)

New Years Resolutions

com It's been such a nice long holiday, that I haven't really had time to think of some good New Years Resolutions. Here is what I have so far.

Try to stay present.

Travel light, get rid of stuff I've been holding on to, declutter and organize.

Take time for myself

I'm not sure if I have ever fulfilled any of my previous years resolutions, hopefully by posting these I will.

Look what we got for Christmas

XBOX 360 with Kinect

This is fun, your body is the controller.

Whee!

And some yarn and crochet needle.

I went to YouTube and learned how to crochet and made a beanie for little man in a couple evenings.
