headboard transformation

for some reason our headboard has been getting on my nerves. we cannot afford to buy a new one, so i figured i'd transform it somehow.

here's what it started off as:

there's nothing wrong with it, i just wanted it to look softer and wanted to add color in some way.
i came across a shower curtain that i wasn't using that i really liked. luckily, i was able to find another shower curtain at bed, bath, and beyond to match it. i sewed the two shower curtains together, with the holes on the outside. i draped the curtain over the headboard and then fed brown ribbon through the holes and tied bows to secure it.




it adds color--one of my favorite combos these days--blue and brown--AND it's washable if needed, so i'm pleased!

after looking at these pictures, i need to concentrate on cleaning our room after i get all of the basement stuff settled, but at least the headboard looks decent and i was able to get that brown blanket at tar-jay for $23!
