{design nerd} our diy upholstered headboard

this project has been on my to-do list for way too long, and i'm so excited to finally be able to share it with you!  we bought this fabric from urban outfitters about a thousand years ago.  it used to be on our dining room wall as faux wallpaper in our last two apartments, but it doesn't really fit on any of the walls in our house, so we decided to make it into an upholstered headboard.  i used grace's diy instructions on design*sponge here {fyi: i tweaked the shape of the headboard a little bit and skipped the legs altogether} and i couldn't be happier with how it turned out {the cats like it too}!

{local love} this is our town

our beloved town made the #2 spot on money magazine's list of the best places to live in america!  i'm not sure how it fell from the top spot, but we still think louisville is #1...
