Spencer : Cam, I love you.
Cam : I just want to play with that claw
Spence : Cam, when you are mean I don't want to share my claw
Cam : I won't be mean
Spence : You won't be mean. and you won't throw books at me. and you won't hit me with that guy
Cam : No. I won't hit you ever again.
Spence : and you won't call me stupid and throw stuff at me
Cam : No. I won't call you stupid or throw things at your head
Spence : If you're mean we'll leave you at the store and then you'll never come home (WTH)
Cam : I'm not staying at the store
Spence : yes huh Cam. we will leave you there if you are mean
Cam : No-oh. Mommy J will pick me up and I will get to ride in her truck
Spence : Not if you're mean Cam. Are you going to be mean anymore
Cam : No
Spence : ok, you can have 1 turn with my claw
Cam : 2
Spence : ok
I love them. I love that they have each other.....they really are the best of friends.
J left for Florida for 4 days and I decided to surprise her.....aka paint and start some projects because she told me I couldn't. :)
I was most excited about making the headboard. We had our bed framed with curtains before and the kids pulled those down....so for weeks I was faced with this ugly room. I couldn't take it any more. My whole damn house is kid friendly/adult repulsive. They have scratched, stained, ruined just about every wall, floor and piece of furniture in this house. I'm fine with it. I know that one day there will come a day that we can start over and slowly rebuild when the kids aren't beating the shit out of everything....but I needed someplace that could be my sanctuary. and since we share our bedroom like the rest of the house with the children I decided to start there. I know. it doesn't make sense. getting the babies out of our room will be my next goal...but with only 2 bedrooms upstairs and children that are scared of the basement....I don't know when that will be changing any time soon. ugh.
blah blah blah. on to my project.
I wanted to build a covered headboard for my room and purchased all of the needed ingredients while J was gone and at work :) once again....what was she gonna say.
She was only semi pleased with all of my effort and then this weekend she and I worked side by side to bring it to a close

I'm so jealous and going to go and find it "here"!! RIGHT NOW!!!!!
WOW!!! What a change!! Love the work. :D
OMG! That looks amazing. Great job.
Your headboard turned out fantastic! So glad you could get some use out of my tutorial. :)
(A) OMG, there's someone else living with twins in their bedroom?!?
(B) How in the hell do you find time to do this kind of stuff when I can't even find time to make a meal some days?!?
(C) It looks great! I would hire you.
Cute... Twins will always best of friends!
Nice.. bedroom!
1. Awesome headboard!
2. Love the conversation -- so very sweet.
3. What's a claw (I mean, other than a claw)?
Thanks everyone.
LL- the claw is a toy the kids found at the last condo we stayed at for our family reunion. It is probably some fast food kids meal toy. It is a hide and seek pliers thing. They named it the "claw" at the condo and as dumb as any cheap fast food kids meal toy is...they fight over this thing like it's the last morsel of food in a pit of hungry dogs.
Nice job! I love the DIY network and doing projects!
I LOVE it! Great work! My husband and I also have a wall as a headboard, ever since he built a platform bed with drawers and threw out our old (ugly) headboard. I love the bed with drawers, but we so need a headboard, and have pretended for years that we would make a covered one. Now I'm inspired again. Thanks!
Wow! I don't have any of the requisite skills for that job! Very impressive.
that looks awesome!! and i'm shocked that YOU did it. not because i don't think you're capable, although, i thought we were more alike. but really, when the hell did you find the time while J was out of town managing 5 kids solo?? seriously, you have super powers!
Once again I am amazed :) This is awesome!!!
Very, very cool! What a nice project, looks so good!
That looks freaking amazing! I am so impressed!! We ahve been looking at platform beds for the last three days for our new king size mattress (yes!!)i am going to show La this tomm.. maybe she will be willing to take this on instead.
Love the colors and it looks just like my headboard except I paid way too much for mine and the cat peed on mine hahaha. xo
Love the headboard! As I said in previous comment...super mom, super woman.
that looks amazing!! so nice to have a little sanctuary of your own!!
That looks fucking amazing! You could be in a home decor magazine! Good job!
As for kids in the bedroom...I hear ya. Not sure when the kids will move out of ours. We only have 2 bedrooms on the main floor but we're all in one bedroom right now. :P
Looks great! Here I thought J wore "the pants" in the house. And I am sure that it will provide much more cushioning than the wall did when the kids slam into it.
You got some skills girl!
That is SO beautiful!
G r E A T JOB!
Beauty-mus! Love it! BTW, I was bit by a cat..that is why you haven't heard from me for awhile! :)
I heart them! Jusy absolutely heart them!!
Love the look of the room! Makes me even more anxious for us to start on our home improvement projects!
Hey, thanks for your comment. We are getting there, slowly but surely... You guys DO have a full house! I’m looking forward to catching up on your blog – looks like fun! -Cindy
Wow! That's beautiful! Nice job. And I love the conversation. So cute!
