I Made These...
...all by myself!!!!
These 2 pieces made up the wooden headboard from my old bed. The bed broke when I decided to jump my ass on it one day while this dude I was dating was laying on it and the entire bed HIT THE FLOOR. After getting a new bed that day, I just couldn't part with the headboard. So I took the 2 pieces apart and stored them in the garage for the next year. I knew I had to do something with the with them.
Well last week, I got bored and decided to to a little decorating. I went to Home Depot and got 2 cans of spray paint and some painter's tape. I taped off the sections I wanted to paint and got to work. Let me tell you that spray painting is not as easy as it one would think.
I then went to a dollar store and bought a simple black rimmed $6 mirror and used wood glue to secure it against the former headboard. I mounted the shelf on the wall and put the items you see pictured on it.
After all was said and done, everyone who saw the mirror and shelf thought that I had purchased them from Ikea or somewhere!! Nope!! I am proud to say that I made these myself!!!!
Now I have HGTV fever and am wondering what to do next!!!

@Kyon-Thanks. I really did work hard on this.
@Erica-I really didn't think about it. I damn near cried when that bed broke!!
@J4T-I've designed a table!! Don't give me any ideas.
Nothing wrong with someone thinking it came from Ikea as opposed to Fendi Casa or somewhere. It's def a compliment.
That's some design on a dime stuff right there, and I'm impressed - poppin' what ya got!
CrocoEmbossed-I had never heard of Fendi Casa until now!!!! I'll stick to Ikea!!
Very nice in such good taste.
