<p>It&#8217;s time. Dee&#8217;s moved out of our beloved<a href="http://the818.com/2009/08/voila/"> Scott-made crib</a>, and into her very own big girl bed. Except right now it&#8217;s just a big girl mattress, because, well&#8230;buying a bed would be like&#8230;WAY to easy and no where near time consuming enough. So naturally we&#8217;re planning to make one. Here&#8217;s the tip of the idea-berg.</p>
<p><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/p_101333485.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9857" title="p_101333485" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/p_101333485.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="480" /></a>Ever since my sis got her upholstered headboard I can&#8217;t stop thinking about <a href="http://www.bhg.com/rooms/bedroom/headboard/upholstered-headboard-how-to/">this DIY from BHG.com.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/katieridderelledecormarch08.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-9858" title="katieridderelledecormarch08" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/katieridderelledecormarch08.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="701" /></a>Also pretty obsessed with the idea of some kind of structured canopy like <a href="http://pinkwallpaper.blogspot.com/2009/08/bed-canopies.html">this</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1192832004austin_bunk_nwal-copy1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9859" title="1192832004austin_bunk_nwal copy1" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1192832004austin_bunk_nwal-copy1.jpg" alt="" width="411" height="411" /></a><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Campaign-Youth-Bed-by-Duc-Duc-z.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-9861" title="Campaign Youth Bed by Duc Duc-z" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Campaign-Youth-Bed-by-Duc-Duc-z.jpg" alt="" width="492" height="345" /></a></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/194541-5-05.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-9863" title="194541-5-05" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/194541-5-05.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="421" /></a>Upholstery + Orange sitting in a tree.

<p><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/L13588609.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-9805" title="L13588609" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/L13588609.jpg" alt="" width="510" height="636" /></a>Overstock&#8217;s got this <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-wove-Kilim-Wool-Rug-8-x-11/5880498/product.html">similarly woven Kilim design</a> <em> (although I&#8217;d have to exacto those tassels right off for my purposes) it&#8217;s impressively low price is quite appealing.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-Shot-2011-12-28-at-10.06.01-AM.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9806" title="Screen Shot 2011-12-28 at 10.06.01 AM" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Screen-Shot-2011-12-28-at-10.06.01-AM.png" alt="" width="387" height="595" /></a>Also on Overstock is this <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hand-tufted-Alexa-Spectrum-Chevron-Wool-Rug-76-x-96/5951968/product.html?rcmndsrc=2">Alexa Tufted Chevron Rug</a>.  It&#8217;s thicker, a wool rug, vs. Dwell &amp; Kilim&#8217;s woven versions, but I do like the fact that it&#8217;s missing the thick black edging that plagues it&#8217;s slimmer patterned <a href="http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Alexa-Chevron-Vibe-Zebra-Rug-8-x-10/5725628/product.html?rcmndsrc=2">Chevron-Inspired Zebra sister</a>.</p>

<p>Then there is this heart-stoppingly awesome DIY from Carissa at The Fabulous Design File.  I almost lost the cheesecake I had for breakfast (in a good way) when I saw it.  It turned out amazing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P4130843-500x375.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9808" title="P4130843-500x375" src="http://the818.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/P4130843-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a><a href="http://www.cape27blog.com/2011/04/diy-chevron-rug/">Jessie of Cape 27&#8242;s</a> painted rug yielded equally stunning results in blue.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not quite ready to take the plunge yet, but I know that my next home-design purchase<em> {or lunatic DIY tackle&#8230;which you know if I do it will be in multicolors like a crazy person}</em> will be a giant, most likely colorful statement rug.  The Chevron print feels pretty classic and safe to me&#8230;what do you think?  Buy or DIY?</p>
<p><strong><em>{Uh, and did you happen to read this post about the girl who tattooed Degrassi star turned hip-hopper Drake&#8217;s name on her forehead?<a href="http://www.blogher.com/fan-gets-drake-inked-forehead-rapper-reacts?wrap=blogher-topics/entertainment/arts&amp;crumb=181">  You really must.</a>}</em></strong>
