New Furniture

Here's our new headboard. I haven't gotten around to putting stuff on/in in yet. Too much else to do around here. All 3 of the top trim boards open up for hidden storage and there is a 'hidden' storage in the middle of the headboard right below the picture. There is a light switch there also that lights up in the glass display case. The hinge to the 'hidden storage space' is also the touch lamp 'switch' to the 2 reading/spot light things that you can see as little gold nubs above the framed picture.



Ok, here's the dresser that's in Richard's room. It has two long cedar-lined drawers on the bottom, 2 smaller drawers on each side, and a "closet" with a drawer inside and a 'cubbyhole' storage. The oak is GORGEOUS, but it really wasn't taken care of. You can barely see it, but I put finish restorer and bee's wax/lemon oil on the right side of his dresser......you can barely see a line down the middle where the right side is darker.....but looking at it close up.....there's a HUGE difference! It looks brand new!





Here's what Richard's bedroom looks like right now. A mess!!!!! I was cutting out all those pictures on the floor. I am going to put my old nightstand (from Emily's set) in the left corner with a touch lamp on it. On the left I am going to put that blue rocker thing he has with a floor lamp behind it. I know it doesn't look like it right now, but this has really opened his room and made it a more 'grown up' room than it was. I've been really working hard on it and I hope he likes it!





I still have a ways to go on this, but maybe I will let Richard help me.......I just thought of that. He might like that. We'll see. This is going in the very small space between his headboard and the wall to his closet.
I am also buying some shelves to go on the wall on the left side of his closet for him to put his shoes on. He wanted all the stuff out of his closet....those 2 wooden storage things......EVERYTHING.
