Can't wait to see the end results of everything.<br /><br />I have my own project to begin but I am a bit intimidated having never done anything like it before. I am so worried I will ruin my piece and then I will be devestated.Cupcake Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-84929047185978950892010-09-17T22:49:29.385-07:002010-09-17T22:49:29.385-07:00I would start with the bed or the dresser.

Popcorn on the closet ceiling would be last on my list because you can close the door and ignore it. <br /><br />My husband worries every time he goes out of town because that is when I paint, buy furniture and take in strays. I call it my "travel disincentive program". :)Alea Milhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549333388945700712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-36903559828005387522010-09-17T20:23:29.094-07:002010-09-17T20:23:29.094-07:00Maggie's garden: You made me howl--I'm an...Maggie's garden: You made me howl--I'm an expert at starting projects without finishing them for years!<br /><br />Heather: I'm fortunate enough to own a serger which makes anything with a straight seam (napkins, table linens, curtains) easy peasy. I'll check out her site tonight for inspiration! <br /><br />Chez Pooh: I grabbed the iron bed at lunchtime and plan to do a little sanding and spray some primer on tomorrow. I need a better look at the rails to find a way to use wood supports for the boxspring.<br /><br />Tomorrow is going to be a busy day! Doesn't ANYone think I should tackle the popcorn? That's the thing my sweetie would be least encouraging about, so of course that's the thing that would give me the greatest satisfaction. I am sooo bad!pogoniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18446029045815991673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-17283568054573340042010-09-17T19:57:45.821-07:002010-09-17T19:57:45.821-07:00If you want to tackle the iron bed, Offspring'...If you want to tackle the iron bed, Offspring's bed offers a solution for the mattress support. A series of slats connected with webbing (think railroad track style) stretches across his bedframe and is just screwed to the supports at both ends of the bed and at each end of the slat. (It was supposed to be each slat but the predrilled holes were misaligned.) So if there are holes in the side rails so the slats could be attached, you might be able to ditch the springs. And I'm with Heather, skip the ceiling.ChezPoohnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-50284612662777259422010-09-17T16:14:39.760-07:002010-09-17T16:14:39.760-07:00Oh boy, I would rule out the popcorn ceiling... to...Oh boy, I would rule out the popcorn ceiling... too much of a mess and not enough visual gratification. Go big or go home:)<br /><br />I would go for the biggest visual impact. Does the iron bed need a lot of prep?<br /><br />have you looked into premade curtains that you could add designer fabric to? A lot cheaper and a lot easier. My neighbor did that in her living room... http://www.inspirednesting.com/2010/04/pottery-barn-look-like.html.<br /><br />Whatever you choose please keep us in the loop:) We want pictures!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461614613433604029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24107493.post-6873236438908146702010-09-17T14:09:46.609-07:002010-09-17T14:09:46.609-07:00Those are all really fun projects...I'd probab...Those are all really fun projects...I'd probably start them all and finish none...but would have fun doing so.
