Vintage Headboard

I’ve taken quite the little blogging break, but I’m back!  My mother-in-law has been here visiting for the last week.  She’s a great southern cook and has over-indulged us in daily, southern meals.  Translation…I. Cannot. Button. My. Pants.

I finished up this vintage headboard a couple weeks ago, but struggled to find the motivation to finish the detail painting.  I finally have, and here it is.

  10. Oh my GAWD!

    I LOVE this Nat (shocker!) and it would be PERFECT for my bedroom redo that I am presently in the middle of.

    I am dismayed that shipping would be exorbitant or I would say "Sign me up, here's my dollas!"

    I love it. You are such a color genius.

  30. I LOVE this headboard! Not only do I like the design, but I love the color because it's my favorite color. I would love to have you come share this on my Sundae Shake Up link party. I'm sure all of the girls there would love to see this since they go perfectly with my 1950's Soda Parlor theme! Hope to see you there!

  35. Today is my first visit to your blog and I'm finding so much helpful information and ideas! I wondered, would you mind sharing what paint sprayer you use, and if you've used more than one, which one you prefer? I'm wanting to buy one in order to do smoother, multiple layers of paint in less time, but want something easy to use and clean up!!!

    Also, i read your March 28 (?) post about your unborn baby and potential health problems/birth defects.... Please know that I am
    Also praying for you, your family and this precious baby as I know so many of your readers are.

    1. I apologize! I just read your comment in FAQ's about using the SATAjet 1000 B RP. You don't need to respond to my earlier question!

  36. What type of paint do you use ,especially the details ,I just can't seem to get my detailing to stay. I usually spray because I can't seem to find any brush that doesn't show brush marks . If you don't mind letting me know what you use that would be great. Thanks, Joanne
