That's My Girl

You may remember when I showed you my daughter and son-in-law's apartment last spring. Their bedroom was pretty, but not everything they hoped it would be.
That was then. This is now.All it took was purchasing a new comforter set
and pretty curtains.
I advised them to hang the curtains all the way across
behind the bed. It looks luxurious and disguises the off-set window.
Her good friend found the headboard
at the thrift store for seven dollars.
A few cans of silver spray paint changed the whole appearance. They also sprayed the lamps and hardware on the nightstands
to match.

All it took was a few simple changes for this room
to go from pretty to glamorous.

I love your projects and your willingness to share! I am in the process of doing your huge frame/canvas project...when it is finished I hope it is ok if I share and then link you so others can know where I got my inspiration from!?
