Headboard Project: Phase 2

Several months ago I scored a few antique doors, and had high intentions of turning them into a fabulous shabby-chic headboard for our bedroom. However, that was before our Iowa winter weather really took force and kicked my ass into the doldrums.

Fast forward to today, and here I am tellin' ya'll that I've made some progress on my headboard project, and by "progress" I mean I've finished it. And it looks pretty stellar, if you ask me.

Which you aren't.

But it's my blog, so I call the shots.

Here's the before:

I really liked all of the colors in this lead based paint, so I decided to gear up and do some sanding.

And more sanding.

More sanding still needed.

So I continued to sand.

And here's what I came up with.

Beautiful.

Chippy.

Colorful.

And after we washed them up and carried them upstairs, I could see a masterpiece starting to take place.

Yep. This is starting to look goooooood.

John was a bit skeptical.

But trust me, he loves the final product. Don't you?

Over and out.
