Room looking a little lacklustre?






After recently buying my first home, a 920 square foot condo in downtown Vancouver, I finally had the chance to decorate with the perfect canvas, a blank canvas.

I was relieved to move out of my first rental home, with shag green rug, yellow walls and a big gold splattered mirrored wall. You don't have to be a style guru to understand what a serious crime that room was.

My blank canvas consisted of (well not so blank) gorgeous hardwood floors, nice NEUTRAL wall colour, gorgeous granite & a nice modern vibe. And the best part? No abuse from previous design criminals!


I spent countless hours searching all over the city and web for an affordable upholstered headboard, but had no luck.
Then it dawned on me, DIY DIY DIY

Although perhaps the first headboard we made, might not resemble all the headboards I had found as inspiration on the web. It really made our room and looked fantastic to boot!

Please enjoy what is like porno to me, the headboards of my dreams, my fantasies and a few links on how to DIY.
