Four Days!

Only 4 more days until I'm a Mrs.  I can't believe wedding week is officially here!  I'm finishing up a few DIY projects and getting all our ducks in a row so that the couple of days before the wedding I can relax and enjoy all the fun festivities!

Sissy arrives tomorrow and BFF S flies in Wednesday morning! ABQ, Ky and Sis have been working hard on my bachelorette party and I CANNOT wait to celebrate Wednesday night!  And I'm super excited to sport my ban.do that night too ;)

On tomorrow's agenda: breakfast with my sweet friend H, nail appointment (shellac of course!), a JoAnn's run because apparently I live there now, and preparing for S's arrival Wed. morning!

Thank you all so much for your sweet comments and well wishes over the past few weeks and our entire engagement--I am so thankful and can't wait to share some the special wedding details with you soon!

Wedding Wednesday: Single Digit Countdown

Happy Wedding Wednesday! LAS and I are a mere 9 days from Wedding Day!! I can barely believe it.  This is my last week of work until we return from our honeymoon, so I'm a busy bee fitting in lots of last minute things before it's all wedding, all the time next week.

All the details are coming along nicely and I'm looking froward to focusing on wedding fun next week and finally ending all the planning!

One thing I do want to do this weekend is make a burlap banner to hang on our gift/guest book table...mum's the word on what it will say but it'll look a little something like this:

Headboard DIY

This weekend LAS and I tackled a project that has been in the works for awhile: Our monogrammed headboard!!  LAS had previously cut the wood to our preferred shape and sanded all the edges and I picked out the fabric and had it monogrammed.

Saturday we put it all together and I have to say it was even easier than I thought.  First, rather than purchase cut foam from JoAnn's, I got a tip that an egg crate (typically used to add padding to your mattress) works just as well.

Supplies: headboard, spray adhesive, batting, foam (or egg crate), scissors, upholstery tacks, hammer

Step 1: Spray some spray adhesive on the wood and lay your foam down.
Step 2: Cover the foam with your batting
Step 3: Flip your headboard over and pull, wrap, and tack down the foam and batting with upholstery tacks on all sides ( Side note: we used upholstery tacks because the wood we used was too strong for staples, but if you use a standard plywood,  I think you can use a staple gun).
Step 4: Sent your fabric and pull, wrap, and tack down on all four sides.

**Note: you'll probably want to trim the excess foam, batting, and fabric as you go.
