Those are all so cute! And I love the one painted on the wall-you’d think as many things as I’ve painted I would have thought of that, but I never have. Love it!
Cute! I have been trying to decide how I want to do the headboard in my sons room on the twin beds. I was thinking of using the old barn wood from my grandfathers barn that recently feel in. Thanks for the ideas, now the gears are turning.
Awesome Laurie, what a fabulous roundup!!!!!

Love the quatrefoil walls in the first one! The mantle is SO clever and I’m trying to convince my boyfriend we should make one out of an old door (like #4) I’ll have to bookmark this to help persuade him!
Hi, Laurie.
My projects mostly involve working with paint on walls this year – and trying hard to get as much of our master bath remodel completed as possible.
Happy New Year!
