MY $7 WALL ART

My quest for inexpensive decor has continued:

I saw this idea at my friend's house in Lubbock last summer, and instantly loved it! I took to Pinterest to see what other people were doing with it. The supplies totaled around seven dollars. The clipboards being a dollar each from my local Dollar Tree, and the "art" being free printables/my own creations printed to regular printer paper!

Christmas in McKinney, TX

My mom is about to embark on a new project, so we took our amateur (and I mean very amateur) photography skills and put them to work in downtown McKinney Christmas day! You're welcome for the family cheesiness.

DIY Upholstered Headboard

About a year ago I was in desperate need of headboard, but was looking for something on the cheaper side since it was only going in a dorm room. I found a simple tutorial that worked out well. It ended up holding up better than I expected, and has made it to my new apartment!

Materials:

2 pieces of plywood: Home Depot

Fabric: Fabric Yard

 Quilt Batting: Joann's

Staple Gun: Home Depot

Liquid Nails: Home Depot 

I did change a couple things from the original tutorial. I used quilt batting instead of a mattress topper, and only used Liquid Nails, rather than screwing each individual square into the back piece of plywood. I also found it cheaper to purchase the 4x8 ft. plywood and have them cut it for me rather than buying the individual squares. I did get some strange looks from the workers at Home Depot when I was telling them what the wood was for, that is for sure. 

With love,

Nicole
