Husband's Handywork

Going back and looking through some pictures to get inspiration for a new post, I came across these gems. About 2 or 3 years ago my husband built this tiki bar. It was very cool! The bar was complete with a power strip for our blender, it even had wheels so we could move it around as dictated by our social situation.



We had this until the darn movers the Army contracted broke it somewhere between Alabama and Colorado. :(

Upholstered Headboard

Very little sewing involved on this project. We took a 6'x3' piece of plywood and my husband rounded out the corners on one end. I nailed 2x2 posts on for legs, and one across the back for support. It has something like 6 layers of batting and then the red fabric (which I'm going to recover with brown as soon as we paint the bedroom). I got a button making kit and made the buttons and used a long needle to thread them through pre-drilled holes in the plywood. It took a short afternoon to make and it dramatically changed the look of the bedroom.
