A Head-Board UpLift

 1. I taped off my design ( I got this headboard for free, my in-laws were throwing it away so I snagged it to save it :)

 2. Tested out my colors on a part of the headboard that wouldnt be seen. (using a martha stewart painting kit to create the striped design/ also martha stewart paint in small tubs that average $5.00)

 3. I had a difficult time with the Martha stewart design.. eventually just painted that entire area gold and tried the design on the blue, I am so glad I messed up because I loved the way it turned out

4. gorgeous, and my husband loves it too!
