The troublesome part is unpicking the staplets out when we wanna change the cover.. . hey i'm thinking of doing a fabric panel for my living room wall too! hehe dont have my hubby's stamp of approval leh i'm still trying to psycho him into letting me do something to the wall. make a feature wall or something. how. hehe which restaurant isit? can tell us? show pic even better!

Cantona7 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2007 finally posted some photos of my DIY headboard and the steps in my blog.. surprisingly it wasnt too difficult to DIY a headboard.. so much easier then wallpapering.. the toughest part was doing the buttons on the headboard.. maybe next time when i DIY another headboard i will not have the 'button' design..Really amazing.

Art and design are 2 seperate things loh...art is free expression while design has a client, and serving a client is always not easy.In fact most of the things done FOC is through my boss's contact, everything is settled when he show face.
