{inspiration}

There are few things I love more than a good ole DIY home project.  I find inspiration all over the place, tons of random magazines, stores and my latest fav Jones Design Company.  Latest as in last Spring.  There is really nothing she posts I don't love or follow suit.  This past August she, (Emily) posted a 5 Days of favorite projects.  Perhaps why I love her post so, is her excellent descriptions and photos when sharing her talent.  Check this out.  Her ruffle pillow inspired my ruffle headboard with nail head trim.  Granted this might have taken longer than the pillow.  Ugh.  But I'm more than happy with the outcome, well forth the effort.

**pay no attention to the hap hazard photos and messy pillows**

Fun huh?

Get your own custom name print or art print here.  A la Jones Design Company, of course.  {thanks mom for the Christmas gift}

I love old finds, that still have lots of life with a little imagination.  This chair I got for $10 at a local thrift store. I actually really liked the original stripes.  But, the seams had been damaged with a glue I tried and tried to remove to no avail.  Nothing a little herringbone grey fabric and nail head trim couldn't resolve.  It's possible I have an unhealthy attachment to nail head trim. :)

Oh my goodness ... what a headboard! That looks like it would take forever to make! I love it.
