What's next?!

Since beginning this blog, I have determined that my father is my most devoted reader. He frequently comments on my posts and also sends me emails to let me know what particular piece of information he's enjoyed that day. So, I have to tell him publicly, "Dad, thank you. It makes me feel great to know you appreciate what I'm doing."

Given his earnest interest, it is no surprise that when challenged with the task of guessing my next project, one of Dad's two guesses was correct! He thought it either had to be a headboard or a picture frame. I'm here to tell you...it's number one folks! A headboard!

The space between our bed and the painting was growing more vast each day. Something had to be done, and this past weekend, I started doing it! Nothing's actually been built yet, but there were a few steps to be taken beforehand.

As much as I'd envisioned having a headboard, Tyler and I needed to figure out how large it would actually be. In came painter's tape - a girls' best friend. Painter's tape is super easy to use and as it's name would suggest, it doesn't ruin the paint on your wall! I whipped out our dwindling roll and got to work on the bedroom wall. Here is the final result:

Sorry for the poor quality. I had to use my computer's camera.

Hopefully, this gives you some sense of where the headboard will go. I realize the tape is a little off-center, but that's okay. It comes off easily! The best moment of all, however, was Tyler's comment afterwards. He said, "You know Jess, we could just paint inside the tape and it would probably still look really good." Mwahahaha. He's beginning to think like a DIYer!
