DIY Farmhouse Headboard

Well, Santa got all the subtle (and not so subtle) hints that we'd be wanting some power tools. Seth's parents got us a circular saw, power sander and jigsaw for Christmas. And boy have I been coming up with plenty of projects to keep us occupied. The first one we tackled was a headboard for our bedroom. I found this tutorial on Ana White's website for an attractive and seemingly easy Farmhouse headboard. Seth made the headboard and I stained it, the perfect team. Here's how it turned out...

All put together, ready to be stained! Looks like our garage door could use a coat of paint, too!

 After a coat of stain. We used a dark walnut oil-based stain.

The final product! 

It makes such a difference in the room. Looking forward to sharing our next project after a few finishing touches!

Happy New Year!

It has been quite the year for us! I started a new job that I love, Seth finished his appraisal classes, we bought a house, celebrated our first anniversary, and that is just the highlights. We are so looking forward to all the wonderful things that 2012 has to offer... some of our best friends and family will say 'I do', siblings will graduate and enter the real world/college, we'll get to do some traveling and spend time with our amazing family and friends. Ready or not 2012, here we come!

Laying low on NYE... Getting to use our new fire pit and make some smores (thanks Mom & Dad)!
