Making a Home: Headboards

Now that we know where we will be living, it is hard not to get caught up in ideas for what to do with our future apartment. I blame Pinterest.

Although we are just renting, I still want our place to feel like home. And because I'm a big DIY nerd, I've been pinning all kinds of ideas that don't break the bank.

Just one of many DIY projects that I have on the list!
