Upholstered bed for the tween

As the tween room makeover continues.....here is what started it all


This bedding from Target. Next, came the upholstered headboard. Since I can no longer find the original inspiration photo (it's not lost, it's with the other sock, my library card, and several gift cards together....somewhere), It looked similar to this
 
Canadian House & Home


I also forget to take before photo's (improving on that one), I purchased a bed on Craigslist that looked similar to this


It had a matching footboard. Painted everything white and upholstered it



One suggestion, a plaid fabric is VERY hard to work with and makes the entire project take WAY too long.



Tween approved






Additional pillows to follow.

Wall Decal for the Tween Room

As part of a room makeover, my tween wanted a wall decal. You know the kind, they are in many stores and on television quite a bit. She wanted this one



so we purchased it here. They custom color any combination you want. It came from China, the stamps on the box were so cool looking, and didn't seem to take all that long. Here is our (when I say "our", I mean me doing all the work and the tween giving it her stamp of approval)  progress so far

you will notice that we flipped the image. Not a great idea. This is what makes this one of the most time consuming projects that I have ever done! Check back for the finished project, if I ever finish!
