headboard for handcuffs

So I made it - the DIY upholstered headboard.

People, I am beyond proud of myself.

It came out awesome and I got the plywood from Home Depot for $1.10.

What did you do this weekend?

Re: headboard for handcuffs

Pictures? Pictures?

We hung some pictures that have been leaning against their prospective walls for about 3 months (mostly DH, and I supervised). Hot tubbed it up. Cleaning. Lots of laundry. That is all I remember - it is a bit of a blur.

Re: headboard for handcuffs

lots of laundry for me too

I don't have pics, I can take some when I get home later.

I also hung wedding photos, finally.

Made and hung some artwork in the living room.

I made a wedding shadow boxy thingie too.

Oh and I made a valance for the bedroom window.

Re: headboard for handcuffs

I got bitched out for not being organized enough to take care of my own 2 kids, plus my 10 year old nephew while my husband is hanging out at his parent's house all day and STILL make it to 2 birthday parties. Yeah. I suck.

I also got Rob to measure out the walls so that he can make me floor to ceiling bookshelves that flank my window for my office/library. I am excited about that.

I also watched a HORRIBLE movie called The Last Run which featured friggin' Fred Savage(!) as a sex addict. I am sorry but watching little Kevin slapping balls was just blech..

Sounds like someone is getting all sentimental now that her one-year anniversary is this weekend!!!

We didn't do any house related stuff, it was nice!!

Saturday we rocked at Goldi's!!

Sunday we did laundry, K vacuumed the pool. Then we watched the Mets game and took a nap.

By 'we' do you mean that your DH helped? I am beyond jealous. DH may not even know where the laundry room is located in our house

Re: headboard for handcuffs

Yup, he does laundry too!!!

And he's willing to give lessons to other DH's for a nominal fee depending on severity.

plywood, cut to size at Home Depot (they do it for free)
fabric
batting/foam
staple gun
spray adhesive
picture frame mounting things

ridiculously easy
the hardest part is getting the corners right
Victor took care of that, he's an awesome corner maker
