detail of fabric on the headboard
the headboard

Here is a headboard for relatively less money that buying one. It is a 3'X4' blank canvas
covered with fabric, in this case the fabric is a damask tablecloth found on the clearance table at a local department store. It was such a find!
The biggest expense was the canvas, I try to get them at Aaron Brothers during
their one cent sale, buy one and the next is one cent, it's a great deal.

These 3 canvases have 3 coats of latex paint ( no VOC!)
This simple, inexpensive solution adds soothing color to an otherwise white apartment.

These windows are 11 ft tall, finding curtains was going to be a challenge
Instead of having curtains made, we went to N.Y. Elegant Fabrics ( 222 W. 40th street)
and purchased 16 yards of silk, cut into four 4' sections

Box butler came to hang them, we did not have a ladder tall enough!


voila!
