Bedroom Cornice Boxes


Well, my bedroom stenciling project is done, so MacGyver husband and I moved on to hanging the lace curtains and making cornice boxes for the window treatments.  First, MacGyver husband built box frames out of ultra light MDF, and then we covered the wood with foam and batting.  Finally, we wrapped and stapled the decorative fabric around the frame.  Thank goodness for the electric staple gun!  It was a definite must with this project.  Next up, I will be sewing the bed dust ruffle.  Stay tuned!

    Looks great. I want to do this in one of my guest bedrooms. I agree, electric staple guns are a must for the DIY'ers.

    Pretty cornice and I love the stencil too.
    I just found your blog tonite-- was wondering about your bed frame. Did you paint it the dark color?
    I have one and it is currently green- but I'm wanting to paint mine. Can't decide on dark (ORB- or Hammered Bronze) or White.

    Your's is so pretty in your room.

    I love how the pillow is just a little bit of pink. It's just a little tint of pink that makes it beautiful.
