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,

Dallas Adventures



During my last week living in the Dallas area, we decided to stop by a few of our favorite places. The Dallas Arboretum and Eatzi's was on the list of places to stop by!

My Final Visit!

After getting home from my travels at the end of April I began enjoying time with family, friends, and my hometown of McKinney, TX! I don't know how three months has gone by so fast, I feel like I just took the flight home from Memphis yesterday. My last visit as a TLC took me to Christian Brothers University!


Since being home, Ive been able to do a few more travels of my own...

Turned my flat friends in for real friends to celebrate birthdays!

Back to TCU to see some of my favorites become graduates!


To Key West and Mexico to reunite (and unite for the first time in some cases) with other TLC's!



To my family's old stomping grounds in Colorado




And back to McKinney to say goodbye to my best friend as she begins her travels as a TLC!


I've enjoyed every experience since graduating over seven months ago, and am even more excited to be going back to TCU for graduate school!

Zeta Love,

Nicole
