It had me at.................

the front page of the brochure
the color ~ the color I have been searching for
the color I want for my Master Bedroom
so clean ~ so crisp ~ so cool
with night stands in black
lights in silver

~ ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ~

but what to do for a headboard
we don't have a headboard
I kind of had a faux one at one point
it was one really long mantel shelf
with an oval mirror hung above
and two shorter mantel shelves
above and off ~ one to each side
it was cute ~ it worked
but truth be told, I outgrew

~ UNTIL ~
*** see below ***
behold my sad, leaning Arch of No Garden
the little gates don't stay shut
therefore, the lean factor

notice the detail of the heron in the scrollwork
the distressed finish over the black
cool ~ pretty ~ perfect

for what ?

Well, that would be for the ultimate re-purpose project
you see, I'm going to take the arch off
and the little gates

which will leave me with the two sides
the two sides that I'm going to spruce up
and then mount to the wall above our bed
the wall that is going to have that wonderful color on it

Oh, I can't wait to do this little project
