A new look for my bedroom

I'm not crafty. Have you ever heard the cliche She cannot draw a straight line with a ruler? I think it was first said in the early 80's...and I'm pretty sure I was the "she." Think I'm exaggerating? I'm not.

I've tried scrapbooking, cake decorating, and sewing. I have a few completed projects, but none of them noteworthy. Still, despite of...or perhaps in spite of my lack of talent for the genre of arts and crafts...I try.

After this last move, we ended up with an old piece of plywood. Not very pretty. But I didn't see just an ugly slab of conglomerated wood chips...I saw a head board. Dr. N and I don't have a bedroom set, so our queen sized bed still sets on the metal frame. We're both fine with that. But I have been wanting to add some decorative pizazz to our bedroom.

So, I went to Lowes, bought two cans of sample paints and some supplies and got busy. I also purchased some wall stickers from Target. Although the stickers look tacky in the photos, they honestly do not in person...in fact, I think it is difficult to determine that they are stickers.

Well, it's not perfect and the lines are not straight, but I think it adds a certain charm. What do you think?
