Moroccan Tile Pattern

We have been tackling some big projects lately. We don't have much storgage space in our house, so our third bedroom has served as a catch-all storage room for the last year or so.  James and my dad recently started building a shed in our backyard (a separate post and pictures on the shed to come) so that we could actually utilize our third bedroom.  We have officially cleared out and painted the third bedroom. The third bedroom used to be a hideous dark blue color that just had to go, so we painted it this greige color.

We had a spare full bed lying around, and I was originally planning on having James build this reclaimed wood headboard, until we took a little trip to Goodwill last weekend. We weren't really looking for anything in particular, but I ended up finding this treasure:


A $25 head and footboard with moroccan tile detailing.  I am obsessed.  I plan on sanding it down and repainting it. I'm thinking I will paint it a darker greige than the walls.  After we got this gem home, I started looking around the house and realizing I may or may not have a slight moroccan tile pattern obsession.  Case in point:

Pierced ginger jar on our built in bookshelves

By the way, have you seen my blog background.  Yeah.... so I may or may not have a problem.  I can't wait to see how the headboard looks when it is done, not to mention the whole room. I plan on taking pictures as I go. Hopefully I will have a finished product post sooner than later. I'm heading out tomorrow in search of fabric for curtains in the third bedroom. Don't worry, they won't be moroccan tile patterned.
