Day 5 And I'm Out Of Time

How did I celebrate my beach bedroom make-over week?  A Java Chiller with Caramel at Sonic!!

Becky and I threw a few items in the car in preparation for the trip home tomorrow and then we treated ourselves to something yummy and sweet.

I finished everything on my decorating list except getting the nautical sconces attached to the headboards.  I need to make an adjustment to one of the pieces of hardware and simply ran out of time to get that accomplished.  That's OK though.....it means I get to come back down to the coast again soon.

We spent the whole afternoon assembling the headboards.  If I hadn't had Becky's help, I wouldn't have finished at all.  Getting ten boards laid out perfectly, pre-drilling umpteen holes, adding four cleats for stability, and finally screwing it all together times two...that's what took so long.  This was no HGTV 30-minute special!

So how did it all turn out?  See for yourself.....

I had all this pictured in my mind and I think I pulled it off!

Becky and I will be heading back home to Newton in the morning.  We sure did have a great week.....lots of sweat and hard work, but a great week!  I'll leave you with one parting shot and I hope you have a super weekend!

Thanks girls! I pulled into Newton safe and sound around 12:30. Becky is probably an hour or so behind me. I'm really pleased with the bedroom. Every color was taken out of that bedspread that I love so much. It may be old as the hills, but it's so cool and Momma is the one who picked it out many long years ago!
