{Pink Queeny}

This is my latest finished piece, heavens knows I have a stack of 'unfinished' pieces sitting neglected in my garage right now...summer is just hard to get anything done!  I know, excuses, excuses.  So I'm happy to post this queen size frenchy headboard that took me all of two hours to complete!  I found it last week at DI, (utah's goodwill).  My hubby was with me and asked me in a questioning voice, 'Are you sure want that?'  'Yes', I assured him.  .....men, gotta love em!







So this is what he saw, a very brown woody piece that didn't look all that great, maybe he just wasn't excited about hauling it throughout the store while I finished shopping.  Thank you Greggy!






I just loved all the decorative woodwork along the top, that's why I knew it was going to be beautiful, I hardly had to do a thing to it!






I painted it my favorite pale pink color, 'barely blush' by Glidden.  Just a FYI, Glidden paint is not my first choice in brands.  It's goopy and hard to work with.  When I run out I'll have Benjamin Moore color match it, then I'll have the best of two worlds.







This piece is available to purchase for $80 if you live in the SLC or Provo area.  Just click my email button if you're interested!

  1. Soo cute!! It looks adorable! Two hours to finish? You're a rockstar! That would've taken me forever - I actually passed on buying a headboard similar to yours for that same reason! I can't wait to see what you do with all the unifinished projects - I've got a few of my own! =)

  10. Nice! I found a head board like this a while ago...it is still sitting in my shop being neglected. I plan on using some type of fabric/upholstery to spruce it up! As always...I love your stuff!

  18. Now there's a makeover! It really was kind of homely before, so I can't blame your husband for being a little skeptical. But wow! You made it so pretty!
