Twin Farmhouse Headboard/Footboard

My mom and the ninja and the Bean are at my house!  We've been super busy with all our wonderful activities, but I thought I would get a couple pictures up of my most recent project.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures - I borrowed a friend's lens, not realizing the lens was a DX which doesn't work too fabulously on my FX camera.  Whoops.

The before:  lovely burgundy and a daybed.

The after:  a barely green "Sea Wind" (Benjamin Moore) wall, handmade farmhouse bed, and handmade side table/cupboard/cubbie/shelf things.

 Turquoise furniture?  Why not?

 The side table/shelf thingies still need the middle shelf and I have to attach the doors.  I also have two baskets under that shelf to the left now...promise.

 Still have the trundle bed, don't worry!  We even raised the top mattress so the trundle is ten times easier to slide out from underneath the bed.  Of course with the new layout we have to move almost every piece of furniture in the room to get the lower mattress out...so we'll be using that baby only when we have no other choice...if ever.

I like it.  Still not sure how stable the bed is.  It's attached with the same exact bolts that attached it to the old daybed frame...not sure why I'm so uneasy about it's stability.  Might add some reinforcements to it in the near future - wouldn't want any houseguests suing me when they crash to the floor in the middle of their REM cycles.  Tragic.

Another little project I completed:

The chalkboard was originally a picture frame.  I primed the glass, sprayed it with chalkboard paint (three coats), painted the frame, and waa-lah!  A happy little chalkboard to write happy little notes to the hubby.  Awwwww....(you can vomit if you want to...I kinda do).

Have a fab-tastic weekend!  We're headed to the butterfly pavilion tomorrow!
