Last night {the operative word being *night*…that’s why the lighting in some of the following pictures isn’t the greatest} Handy Hubby was kind enough to hang the DIY ‘love’ headboard. Yep. It’s only taken us 6 weeks to finally get it on the wall. Handy Hubby used these flush mount hangers from ACE Hardware to mount the headboard. {They’re the same ones he used to hang our boys’ drop cloth headboards.}
He screwed 2 hangers into the back of the headboard.
And he screwed 2 into the wall.
Here he demonstrates how they fit together. Basically, they slide into one another for a nice, flush mount.
And here’s the headboard/wall art in place when it was all said and done.
This morning I got a chance to wash/make the bed, dust and vacuum after all the sanding, drilling and spackling that’s been going on in there. Here are some better truer-to-real-life shots of the Love Bed. Did I mention I now refer to our bed as the Love Bed? Silly me.
The next shot includes a snippet of the fandelier.
While Handy Hubby was on a hanging roll, I got him to hang the new mirror between the windows too. Since he already had his tools out and all. {He’s awesome.} Remember this mirror?
Here’s its new home.
I love the way the shimmery fandelier reflects in the mirror. Double the fun. Once I complete {ahem, start} the chair slipcover, my next task will be dressing the empty bookcases. Well, they aren’t exactly empty.
Do tools count as accessories?
