So Tuft

I have been fantasizing about a tufted headboard for years now. And this year I'm finally going to make it happen. My vision, though, I don't know if I will make it to the standard I have in my head, is very close to this. Since I will be making it, I plan on using burlap. I'd love the buttons to be large cream velvet. If I can make a border such as the one here, it will definitely be made with the same cream velvet as the buttons.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

This is lovely. So easy to make.

I figured that headboards couldn't be all that hard. I see it all the time, over and over, on HGTV and DIY, so why not? I looked up burlap tufted headboard, and, of course, found dozens of people who have posted ever little thing one needs in order to make it after accomplishing it themselves!

I will want mine a bit more plush, but that's just taste preference and easy to make happen. Here is the recipe for this beauty.

And another

West Elm. This one is ideal to me. Just needs larger cream velvet buttons.

I love Brooke's style. She and her husband got it down together!

Perfection.

Well, then, so can I...plus she has a Lakeland Terrier, what I want to have when we are ready to add a dog to the family!

The Best Time of Year

I really am a primitive lover. I can't believe how deeply I have fallen for the old country, primitive shaker style.

So homemade feeling.

Spacious and simple.

UH! Let me count the ways!

Again, this room will stand as my inspiration for as long as I have a living room with mustard colored walls.

Attic in the Clouds

I absolutely love this space. I love the shiny wood floors, the white wood paneled ceiling. I LOVE the sign that says "Marie's Dress Shop". Something like that is a must find. I already have some ideas brewing. This picture has so much inspiration in it for me! But now, on with the practicals!

An all white, all wood attic is sooooooo dreamy.

THE TAILORING AND CRAFT STATION

Exactly what I'd like for the thread! This is much like what our space can be like as the ceiling seems like an attic here. 

Nice open spacing and a clean, white palette for the imagination to wander!

LOVE the magazine rack in here. Must have a place for mags.

Also, really love the use of wall space here.

I have always wanted a wrapping station. I'd really like to have an all-purpose table adjacent from the sewing station for these kinds of goodies. I love the use of wallpaper here as well.

This is a little busy and frilly for me, but, what I do like about it is the curtain in front of the table. A different pattern, but the idea is great.

Love the peg boards and simple shelving.

Exactly what I'd like to have in front of the sewing station, perhaps more compact.

NURSERY TO CHILD'S ROOM

I just love these colors, linens, old wood. Breathtaking...

Again, the all white and the blue for an attic seems so perfect.

It's like being "up in the clouds"!

This is precious.

Imagination abounding!

More grown up. This is really doable.

I can see this already!

The color palette I love, and the beds are a great idea.

A Dreamy Kind of Great Room

Wall art. This would be in a Cherry wood or Mahogany frame. If I can find some kind of aircraft lithography or original engineering of a jet that would be ideal!

Starburst Bowl from Crate and Barrel. Never have I dug C & B this much. But this particular ensemble kills me!

I have always preferred rugs to be soft and fluffy. This is the one for me. Flokati becomes a bit harsh after the years. Something closer to a plush burber is purrrrfect.
