student discount finds

One perk of being back in school is being able to whip out my student ID and get discounts while shopping.  I wasn't aware of just how many stores participated! I did a little research, and thought I would share it with my fellow college students out there (or recent graduates that can still pull of their student ID).

I have wanted to start my blog up again since traveling, but with no clue what to share. I decide to write about what I know, and that is being a college student (again) in my twenties. This blog is going to be dedicated to others who are looking for affordable experiences, styles, and projects to fit their everyday lifestyle.

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,
