Well I have moved into my condo on the premise of renting it until it goes through. Here are some photos of my current stage of living in the space.

Headboard DIY
I found this old headboard at a yard sale for $15 and I really loved the shape.
I did not like the color of the wood with what I have for bedding and generally don't like dark woods in the bedroom. I found this photo on pinterest and loved the idea of mercury glass on a headboard. But I didn't want to add to much sparkle to the frame.

I used chalk paint in French linen on the frame and Kyron's Mirror Glass spray on the main piece. After applying a wax polish to seal the piece. As I was working with the spray I realized I wasn't going to get a fully reflective surface like a mirror. So I decided to not apply so heavily to allow the wood grain and some of the existing paint to be seen through.
What do you think?
