SHARON'S COMMENTS
Thanks so much, Debra. You can tell by the wrinkles that I often do just that! :)
I love the creativity talent in this design. I really like re-purposing an old headboard.
Thanks, Deborah. I've made a bunch of benches from old headboards. It's really not difficult, and they all look different, depending on the beds you find.
If you click on the photo to see it larger, you can see the linen bench and the 100% linen embroidered pillows as well.
A very simple and elegant look, uncluttered. The color choice was perfect. I must remember the black lining I would have thought the black would be visible through the white. Great idea.
Sherri, it's room darkening lining (aka "blackout")--it's a thicker white lining with black layered inside it. So...although it did change the color of the linen a bit, it didn't change it as much as using a black fabric would have.
If you click on the photo to make it larger, you can see the embroidered linen pillows better. That fabric is not from Fabrics-Store, however.
Really nice, Sharon! Would love to curl up with a book in this spot.
