We figured out where we wanted the lights to hang and Matt drilled the holes in the headboard. This was kind of tough, but we were able to push it through. We were only using the “arm” of the lamp (the base wasn’t needed) so we had to take the wires out, paint the arm and then push the wires back through. Matt has made so many DIY lights around here so he knows how to rewire different things to make them work as lights. I took the lamps apart and spray painted the parts we were going to use black. I knew sconces on the headboard would take care of that problem. The problem is that they take up way too much room on the stools. I like to read at night so lamps on the side of the bed is essential. I have used small, metal stools as side tables because they serve the purpose but don’t take up a lot of space. We have a king size bed so we don’t have tons of space for side tables. The back wall is the only wall our bed can go and why the original owners only put one window in the left corner of this wall is beyond me. Like most rooms in our home, our bedroom is small so I need to get creative for space and storage.

There is no space on top of that suitcase for much so I wanted to put some lights in our headboard so we could free up the night stand. The night stand we have on my side of the bed is a stool with a suitcase because it was the only thing that would fit. This project came about when I was complaining about the lack of space we have in our bedroom for night stands. (It is just the way things go around here). Since we have been at a standstill in the kitchen (we are waiting for countertops to be installed), we started this lighting project in our room. Then, I felt inspired to start a kitchen makeover at the same time. Those projects usually have little or no money invested and make a big impact or change.
