There is more than one reason why Tidbits at the Tremaynes is one of my favorite blogs. She is hilarious and is constantly cranking out projects like this window bed! How is that for AMAZING!!!!!



Combined two shirts into one to make this cutie at Inspiration and Realisation.

There are so many amazing variations of sunburst mirrors. I'm loving this wood one from Thrifty and Chic.



What do you get when you combine a circle skirt and a maxi skirt together? A circle maxi skirt like this one from Show Tell Share.



Who wants a sliding barn door inside their house? ME!!!! See this beauty over at Breakfast for Dinner. Gorgeous!

Guest Blogger - Nickles and Dimes - Wrought Iron Headboard





Hey Guys! I am Ashton. I started my blog Nickles & Dimes to share all of my crafty creations with you! If you like them, post my button on your site.






I am super excited to be guest posting here at Someday Crafts. It is one of my favorite blogs. The cute ideas are endless. Take a look at my new headboard and let me know what you think. I am really hoping you love it as much as I do.






When I decided to move last year, I also I decided I wanted to redecorate my bedroom. I started the redecoration process by searching for a bed. My first stop was Anthropologie. As always, I fell in love with something way outside my price range. I emailed a picture of the bed to my mom. Thankfully, she was game for trying to recreate the beautiful headboard. This is my favorite project!



Supplies:
Decorative wrought iron piece
2 2X4's
3 add a leg kits
Spray paint
Epoxy




1. Find your wrought iron pieces. My mom and I started our search at estate sales, but weren't finding anything. We decided to change to antique/junk type stores. That is where we found the pieces I used. One piece wasn't large enough. I called a welder, he stopped by my house and welded the two pieces together in about 5 minutes. It wasn't very expensive either.







Notice all the stuff in the background? My parents and I just had what we so kindly call the "Great Debate" again. It is over why I hoard random objects in our garage and say they are for crafts. Have any of you ever had that conversation?



2. Cut your two 2X4's to the length you want your iron pieces (remember most hardware stores will cut the wood for you) and nail them together.



3. Hold the iron piece on top of your wood. Mark where the legs touch the wood. Drill a hole where you marked, large enough for the legs to fit.




Dad was kind enough to drill the holes for me.




My little brother Cody was a great help!


4. Fill the holes with epoxy and insert the iron piece into the wood.





We squirted out the epoxy and then used a popsicle stick to get the epoxy into the holes. You may want to wear gloves. Epoxy will not come off easily!

6. Once the epoxy is dry, spray paint the base of the head board. Also, spray paint the legs to match.








7. Next, attach your legs. This part was really simple I just bought the little kit (pictured below) and screwed them to the base. I measured the height of the bed frame and had the hardware store cut the legs to fit.






8. Then stand the head board up right and screw the bed frame into the base of the headboard.




9. Finally, reassemble your bed.




This is the final product. I am in LOVE!!

Hope you enjoy my blog Nickles & Dimes! Thanks for the guest posting opportunity.


THANKS, ASHTON! I'm loving the wrought iron headboard. What a fun idea to do with an old fence or gate! I've never thought about that before. And it really doesn't look that complicated! This post has got me thinking about other things to do with antique fencing!!!! Visit Nickles and Dimes to see more great ideas!

Wall Painted Headboards

Are you wanting a specific headboard, but either can't find it or can't afford it? Not a problem. Just paint it on the wall. It's an inexpensive solution that can be changed with a coat of paint when you want something else. This beautiful painted on headboard is from The 2 Seasons.

6 Types of Skirts

There are six blogs that are collaborating with something called "Point Of View." They have one theme and they produce their point of view of that theme/word. Last weeks "Point Of View" was SKIRT. I love how all 6 are different (including one bed skirt).


Head over to Gwenny Penny to see who the six bloggers are and be able to access their blogs and tutorials for this "SKIRT Point of View."
