LUXURIOUS BEDDING - french country bedroom

I easily can admit I have an obsession with bed linens. I want to change them at least once a week to enjoy the crisp clean feeling when I get into bed at night. I have even converted the man of the house to want to change the bed just as often.

DIY FRENCH HEADBOARD - combining items

Every now and then I get an itch, a nagging desire to change something in the house. I start to focus on it, maybe something isn't working right for us or the look of something is bothering me. GG has even given it a name ...

"AWEFULIZING" The wheels start to turn in my head, and

over the years he has learned to recognize it. As soon as he

 sees it, he tells me to stop awfulizing. The truth is if I didn't

 awfulize over it I would not be able to create. It's part of my

 process, it's the main component to how I do what it is I do.

Now that brings me to our headboard. I always wanted a

 tufted headboard, one stop into Sleep Country way back

 when and I bought one. We both like it but it also lacked my

 personal touch or something unique to us, which has

always bothered me.
