Hello Lovelies!
Today, I am so excited to finally share a project that lil dude and I have been working on.
We have actually been slowly but surely giving his bedroom a makeover. We've repainted the walls, built an entertainment/gaming station, built a Lego table and several other decor items for the walls. But the biggest and most time consuming project thus far has been the headboard.

Before!!
Since our DIY business uses a ton of pallets, I decided this would be perfect for the rustic Lego look I was going for.
We cut each pallet plank into sizes that would resemble a Lego brick. Next, I picked up 2- 2" wood dowels from the Lowes and cut them into 1/2" slices.
Lil dude was responsible for sanding all the little round disks. About halfway through, he had had enough of me!!! He lost interest rather quickly, but I stayed on the little creature and made him sand every single one!! LOL! Isn't it great being a mom?!?!?!?! I think he sanded close to 200 of them.
Once the glue had dried, we sanded again then applied Daddy Van's Brown Wax. Each brick took on a different shade of brown, which was exactly the look I was going for.
We think it turned out pretty awesome, and lil dude loves it!
Enjoyed the project?

A lot of trouble for nothing. No cigar for design.
