...and it was all yellow!

I have been longing for warmer weather and I mean longing. Even as I type this I am fighting back the urge to swallow because my throat is so unbelievably sore and my head feels like it is going to explode. Needless to say it has rained and rained and then rained some more and I am ready for some sunshine! Well, today I got a little... These drawer faces belong to an upcoming post, a desk I bought for $5, yes $5 at a yard sale a couple weeks back. I'm excited about it!


And here is the headboard I bought for $15 at a thrift store a couple of months ago. It still needs a few minor adjustments (a couple more screws and some trim in the front and of course a cushion) and it will be ready for my back patio...or front, I can't decide! Anyway, here it is so far!
I have to apologize for not having the giveaway yet...it is not quite completed and I don't want to rush perfection (or my friend that's doing it so willingly)! Keep checking back, it should be here soon :) And as always, thanks for stopping by, I hope I have added some sunshine to your day as well!

I love it! I love the color yellow. Yellow houses always catch my attention. It's such a bright happy color.

Great idea, I have a stack of headboards at the store I help out.
They work realy well for a bench. I also love the bright yellow.
