Furnishing My Home!

I was browsing one of my favourite home decor blogs – Simply Grove when I came across some photos of a lovely home.  I just love the simple decor and the little pops of colours around the home.   The wooden floor is absolutely stunning.  My favourite room is the dining because it has so much natural light from the big windows.  I also love the foldable wooden table.  I hope that in my next home, I will have a kitchen/dining area with lots of big windows. I can picture myself sitting in the dining room, doing my skin care product reviews or reading a book.

My friend who does the ab workout with me, has just bought a bed from Ikea and it does not come with a head board.   She likes its design and after assembling it in her bedroom, she feels that it would look better with a headboard.  Hence, she asked me if I have any idea on how to make a headboard.  I finally found what she wanted from Better Homes & Gardens.  There are so many cheap and chic headboards ideas available.  Below are a few of my favorites.

Just lean three pieces of painted closet doors against the door

Arrange a variety of letters in different sizes and fonts on the wall.  These letters can be found at craft stores or flea markets

Another great idea is to use two single window panels as headboard.  Remove the glass, install fiberboard or thin plywood on the back for safety.  Then cut out your favorite fabric and secure it with spray adhesive.

Create a shabby chic look with a salvaged mantel.  I love its distressed look.

I love having bamboo shades for my window treatment.  They create a clean natural look.  Bamboo shades offer a natural, zen-inspired or tropical-inspired decor style.  They are an eco-friendly way to decorate windows and are great for offering privacy and sun protection to your home.  If you want to add a tropical or Asian influence to your decor and are looking for discount shades, then you have to check out Paylessdecor.com.  They have a wide variety of high quality window treatment for the home.
