Reason #873.......

Why I love my husband. He built me a headboard!It all started Friday morning. Adam had the day off and we were watching some design show on TV. The couple had an apholstered headboard that looked really cool. I commented that I liked how it looked, and Adam offered to make me one! We had originally set aside money to purchase some furniture for our new house, including an actual wooden bedframe with a headboard and footboard. But let's just say that money is long gone, spent on some other home project along the way. So we went out and purchased fabric and lumber on Friday. On Saturday, with help from Jon his friend and John my dad, Adam made a headboard!

Yesterday he anchored it to our wall behind the bed. What do you think?

I absolutely love it! I am amazed that Adam was able to build it without any professional help or instructions. I told him I'm going to hire him out on his days off to make headboards for extra money. Any takers?
