Headboard

Scott started this project several months ago. We argued over the fabric for the headboard for awhile. I wanted to do a pretty print (like the stuff you see from an Anthropologie store) and Scott wanted brown. We finally compromised on a solid fabric, but a pale blue suede instead of brown. Scott did such a beautiful job on the maple frame, sanding and staining for a gorgeous color and smooth finish. I'm glad that he convinced me to do a solid fabric because when we were upholstering it I realized how difficult lining up a pattern would be.

The morning Scott finished the headboard I made blueberry muffins. Sam was at the neighbors house and Ruby and Owen were playing upstairs. I called from the kitchen for Scott to eat a muffin before I put them away. He came in the kitchen, took a bite, and we heard a loud BANG from the stairs. I panicked thinking it was Ruby falling down the stairs, but it was Sam coming home through the front door where Scott had left the headboard while he came in the kitchen to eat a muffin. The headboard was scratched on two sides where it fell against the stair rail and the wall. So, who's fault is it? Of course it doesn't matter, it was just an accident, but we had a playful debate about it.
