Weekend Pics and the HEADBOARD! (finally!)

Last weekend we made a really quick trip to San Antonio for Olivia's blessing. Here is Nicholas playing with Belle (he was supposed to be taking a nap while she and Uncle Gordon made lunch for their picnic.)

Enjoying the picnic... (Isabelle had made "icky fruit" for them all while Gordon provided the fruit punch)
The best picture we could get...just pretend that my mouth isn't open and that Nick's eyes are half shut...it is cute of the girls (especially Livi!)
I think Isabelle looks like Alice in Wonderland in this pic...she just needs her dress to be blue!
And finally, onto my headboard project. I couldn't find pics of "before" or even "during" but here is it finished. I started with two wooden doors from an entertainment center. We put 2x10s on the sides to make it wide enough and I sanded it all. Then came the paint...and boy was it a process!
We slapped a few legs on the bottom to raise it up a bit and that was that! (It is solid wood and so heavy!)
We like having a real headboard...it is nice to not just lean up against the wall to read and such. And it makes the room look more finished for sure. I was going to paint our (black) nightstand drawers white so they kind of matched, but I haven't gotten to it yet and now I am not sure if it is really necessary...perhaps when I get bored!
