headboard re-do ..

we have had this headboard for some time and we are finally getting around to uncovering it in the warehouse and getting it redone ..

above is the way it looked when we found it.. as you can see it had incredible 'bones' .. love the frenchy feel of it .. it is a king size .. to be secured to a metal frmae, aka a hollywood frame ..

below is the way it looked after ... covered in washed burlap, accented with crosses of raw edge muslin for the buttons and a ruffle of raw edge muslin framing the edge .. reminds me a frosted cookie .. lol ..


below is a close-up detail of one end ..




above is a great 1920s era wicker set we will be finishing out and sending with Rod to Canton .. we are upholstering it in a wonderful floral print .. the headboard is also going to Canton ..


the sweet bisque cherub duo is the base of a wonderful vintage lamp Rod discovered at a local shoppe .. he is bringing that to Canton also ..

Don't forget if you are in Waco .. visit our booth at the new LaSalle Shoppes Antiques & Crafts Mall .. you can read about it here ..

Love ya'
Troy

P.S. Please include my friend Anne's Mom in your prayers ..

thank you ..

  6. TROY, WHAT AN AMAZING JOB YOU DID ON THAT HEADBOARD. I HAVE THE EXACT WICKER SET ROTTING AWAY IN THE YARD BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE TOP. PLEASE SHOW THE FINAL PRODUCT AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU ATACH THE BACK TO IT. THE WICKER IN THE BACK OF MINE IS GONE. GOOD LUCK IN CANTON AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW ABOUT THE SHOPS IN LA SALLE. I BOUGHT SOME STUFF THERE AND FROM THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR. AS YOU MENTION THE OWNERS ARE THE SWEETEST PEOPLE. BLESSINGS, MARTA.
