Anyway, when I had the wood cut to make my second DIY headboard, I naturally kept the scrap piece (a very large scrap). Unsure of what I was going to use it for, I kept it in the trunk of my car for a full two weeks. When I finally got the motivation to carry it up three flights of stairs, I did just that...and then leaned it up against a wall in my living room...until today.
I woke up with a bee in my bonnet, and if you know me at all you know that when there is a bee in this girl's bonnet, she buzzes around like a mad woman.
To set the stage, It is 7am (on a Sunday morning mind you) and there I am staining said piece of scrap wood in my PJs, eyes half open, and a cup of coffee in hand.
Once the wood was stained, I was really unsure of where I was going to go from there. So, I walked away from it and cleaned my closet.
Closet Before-EEK!
Closet After-Ahhh
Check out all of the clothes I donated to Good Will....Who knew I was a closet hoarder (pun intended)...
Anyway, back to my newly stained piece of wood.
I decided that whatever the final product was, it was going to go above the longer/shorter dresser in my bedroom. I have wanted something to fill that space since I moved in last February, so it is obvious that I haven't come across anything that I think is bedroom wall worthy.
My ideas about what to paint on this wood were pretty scarce...I was thinking about painting a favorite quote, but that would be too similar to my DIY wood piece above my couch. I knew I didn't want anything too cutesy, and I was pretty set on not painting anything abstract. It wasn't until last night when I heard someone on TV say the word "wish" that I came up with the idea of painting (drawing) this...
I definitely want to add some color to my dresser...I am thinking about buying a big fun lamp with a colorful base, maybe a pretty tray for my perfume, and who knows what else...I will keep you posted!
Happy New Year everyone!! Wishing you a healthy, happy 2013!
