all things fun.

today has been a great day. that's not something i can say often anymore. i mean i have good days... not great. but today, has been an exception. i woke up and decided that i wanted to go home. so i called my mom and told her i was headed to ralz. luckily, her tennis match was postponed until tomorrow so we got to hang out all day! then, at night, i went to dinner with my dad! now can you see why today has been a great day?

i also did a fun project today with mom. we made headboards! now that i have the two twin beds in my room (hampton stole my queen.. he's too big for a twin now!) i wanted to make them look cute! the headboards and footboards that we have were my dad's when he was little! my grandfather made them! so crazy. while keeping them, i wanted to add something to them. so, mom and i decided to add wood, cover it with batting and then cover it with fabric! it was such a fun (and easy) project!

we just: measured how wide it needed to be (38") then how tall we wanted it to be (40"). then, we got some mdf board (wood was too flimsy) and cut out the shape we wanted! then, covered each head board with 3 yds of batting and a little over 2 yds of fabric! and there you have it! 2 super cute headboards!

we still have to paint the footboards gray and find fun pillows and a fun throw for the foot of the bed! but other than that.. we're done! once the wood was cut it only took an hour to actually upholster the headboards! i'm kind of bummed i had to come back to school tonight! i wanted to sleep in one of those beds just so i could wake up and look at the headboard!

see? told you this was a day of all things fun! happy saturday, everyone!
