My daughter Melody recently moved into her first college apartment which she shares with her lovely roommate. All summer long, Melody was on the hunt for inexpensive furniture, lamps and accessories. Since she loves old wood as much as I do, she wanted to create a similar piece of art I recently put together.
So I hauled out the old wood, cut a few pieces, and let Melody do the rest. She went with a purple color scheme to match her comforter.
I love how it turned out. It adds color and texture to her room.
The best part, it didn’t cost her anything. The wood was free and we still had some acrylic paint on hand. Good job, Melody!

September 3, 2014Very cool! I love it! This would be so fun for my son’s room (I am working on changing it from nursery to “big boy” room). He might choose a different color, though 😉

September 3, 2014Thanks, Bethany. This would be great for a boy’s room. Perhaps gray, navy blue, some orange?
