Three brave souls (Bill, Kendra and I) took on the challenge of upholstering a headboard...that's right, a headboard. Kendra has wanted to have a headboard for her bed for about two years, but as is the usual case, it has been put off until "Dad is here to help"!

A couple of weeks ago, after the headboard discussion had been mentioned
again, what should appear in the alley way behind Kendra's apartment,
but a lovely wooden headboard that had been left in the rain. After
some checking and Kendra's approval, we hauled it up to K's apartment
for it to dry and then to take another look for its suitability.
A week later, the three of us spent some time searching for fabric, decided on a beautiful tapestry with a blue satin thread, and then we went to work. A base of thin wood, topped by 2 inches of foam trimmed to fit and then covered with the tapestry....oh and duct tape and some muscle got into the picture as well. Not sure we knew what we were doing, and reminiscing that Grandad had upholstered a few pieces, it has been a fun project!
