Still not doing it yet.
But here is something else awesome that I made from cardboard (among other things) and I want to show it off.
Have a look at my DIY: Bulletin Board, or "cork board alternative" as I like to call it. So chic, I know.
Remember how I mentioned (a few times) that I made an upholstered headboard from cardboard and promised that I would post a tutorial for it and totally never did?

Painting not your forte? Don't want to paint over your last DIY canvas, yet tired of looking at it?
Well then I have something that ought to do the trick! *drumroll please* Cover an old canvas painting -- or a blank one -- with fabric! It may just be even easier than it sounds, too.
Do you like my focus in the title? Why is it there, you ask? Because the only things I really did to 'makeover' my bedroom was change the wall art above the bed, change the bed, and move some trinkets around.
But the end result? Fantastic. Or at least a little more grown-up and puffy, which I like better. Tutorials on some of the things that I did to get from the Before to the After are still to come, but read below for details! Update: you can see how I made the Fabric-Covered Canvas hanging on the wall here, and the Tailored Bed Skirt tutorial here.
I have made upholstered seats and re-upholstered existing seats, but something about these out-dated glass side tables made me want to have a go at making an upholstered bench from a metal table frame alone.
And guess what? It was super easy!
This is just a little post to show the difference that a few textures and colours can make in a space.
I currently live in a basement apartment and although it is blessed with large windows and good sun exposure, it is still a basement apartment. Dim. Dark. Dank. Slowly but surely, I am aiming to fix this. This is the before:
Not bad, but still dim. (You can also see Version 1 of my spray-painted lamps sitting in the corner!)
