i told you in my bedroom post that i was in the process of making us a headboard for our bed.  i'm glad to say i'm in the final stages of said headboard.  i'm just trying to decide on final touches.  i found inspiration on pinterest of course.  its been a bit of a task, because instead of tracking down weathered wood i made my own.  i beat the heck out of it, sanded it, stained it with tea, paint, steel wool & apple cider vinegar.  but i'm actually really happy with the results!  i cannot wait to finish it and get it above the bed.  hoping to have final pictures to share by monday!  and next on the bedroom list of things to do...pillows.  find them.  make them. buy them.  whatever just get some that i cannot live with out!  

here is a little peek at the wood.  

our bedroom

contrary to the title of this post, i promise the content is not disturbing or 'tmi'.  i figured i'd shoot myself later if i didn't take pictures of our very own first apartment together.  so here is our bedroom, nothing fantastic.  i couldn't paint or wall paper, and really i didn't spend too much time decorating considering we were away from our house all the time.  here is the only bedroom in our first one bedroom basement apartment in alpine.   we bought the dresser from ksl, it's cute and served its purpose but i hope to get some cute knobs for it soon and maybe paint some chevron on it, i've seen a lot of cute ideas on pinterest.  i'm also in the process of creating a headboard.  i'm always on the lookout for cute decorative pillows to throw on the bed.  i'm super picky though so it will probably take a while to find the right ones.  {on a side note the rocking chair & beautiful curtains, not ours. ha they came with the apt, didn't want you to think i was turning all grandma on ya.}  also please note that this closet was the only closet in our whole house, it is seriously freaking AMAZING that all our stuff fit in our house.  but seeing that we've now condensed from a basement to one bedroom in the basement, i'm missing all of our "extra" space.
