Headboard & Pillows

Now that my bed is secure and dressed with a new, pretty dustruffle, I've decided to keep working on dressing up my bedoom. Recently I decided I wanted a headboard. On a lazy Sunday afternoon, I drove around Holt  & discovered an abandoned cabinet factory. In the dumpster out back I found a headboard along with a few other treasures. I painted the wood blue with leftover paint from summer camp and set the ends of each side atop the side tables I refinished. Viola! Total cost : $0.00

The same day I decided to make a few pillows. Each oversized pillow was $8 & covered in fabric from Hancock ($7/yard, 3 yards). I then stripped old pillows and covered one in a place-mat I bought at Target ($3). For the second pillow, I cut the stuffing into a circle & covered it in fabric from an old skirt.  I used a hot glue gun to create a spiral with another fabric & then frayed the edges to make it a little more fun! This was a more expensive project than usual. Finally I found a white, lacy sham for a dollar at the thrift store. Total cost for 6 pillows: $49
