enJOY it by Elise Blaha Cripe

CELEBRATE : sale wednesday.

Click here to shop! This offer applies to all 5x7 prints - gocco or digital. Please only put two prints in your cart and let me know in the notes to seller which third print you would like for free. And hey : a new design!

EDIT : This is in the fine print, but sometimes bigger is better : your free print must be the digital word/text one. The gocco prints are more expensive ... the less expensive ships free. So if you'd like a flower gocco print, purchase that plus another "word print" and ask for a second digital print in the notes to seller. Thanks!

FINE PRINT : Buy two prints (either gocco prints [$5-7] or digital [$5] ) and pick a third digital print to ship with your order for free! Note which free print including color you would like in the notes to seller at checkout. If no print is specified, a random one will be sent with your order. This offer expires at midnight PST tonight.

CELEBRATE : sale tuesday.

Click here to shop posters! Shipping rates have already been changed to reflect discount.

Thanks for all the sweet comments on yesterday's giveaway! Just to clarify, I'm not do 2000 yet! This week is about getting there. I'm currently hovering around 1970 ish...

FINE PRINT : Offer applies to posters (11x14 prints) only. Because of the nature of this item and the way they are packaged, orders that contain other items like books or prints will be charged the shipping cost of the second item. But 2 posters? 10 posters? Those go free. International shoppers will pay a reduced shipping rate. Offer expires around midnight EST (9pm PST) tonight.

headboard project : the results.

We did it!

We also cheated - our headboard is 30x60 inches and is currently hanging on the wall behind the bed. I need a garage and some power tools, and as soon as I have those, our headboard will have legs. But right now? This totally works for us.

This project is seriously simple. A good staple gun is all you need. Ours was tedious because I took the time to sew striped fabric into a chevron pattern. I used this method, but made the strips about 10 inches wide. It was tricky matching them up perfectly which I blame on my inability to measure, but otherwise, it worked out well. I loved doing a big sewing project. So much I think I'm going to make a new duvet cover. The trick is finding something to match the black and white... I want another pattern.

If your curious, the price to make our own headboard broke down like this :

• 4 yards of this fabric : $32
• 30x60 inch plywood : $25 - we had to buy a much bigger piece at home depot and get it cut down. There are cheaper ways to do this, I'm sure.
• 2 inch foam : $40
• fasteners to hang on wall : $12

We already had a staple gun so I didn't include that cost. And instead of buying quilters batting to cover the foam and cushion the edges, I used a mattress cover we were going to give to goodwill. But still, a custom headboard for $109? I'll take it.

Full bedroom tour to come when I actually complete the bedroom. So maybe March? This headboard was a big step though! Happy to have it done.

links : crate & barrel sheets, carved love sign, mirrored table, lamp from target (obviously still needs a shade), silhouette DIY tutorial coming soon.
