Bedroom Improvements

We made a a few bedroom improvements over the weekend.  We built and upholstered a headboard.  We used 1x4's 2x4's, screws, 2" thick foam, upholstery fabric, and staples.  It's not perfect, but it's nice enough.  And it keeps up off the cold exterior wall.

 

We also installed a footboard.  It's a little narrower than the bed so as to help keep us from bashing our shins on the corners.

We also removed the closet doors and hung some curtains.  We got the curtains at Ikea (they're pretty nice!).  The curtains are an attempt to increase the airflow into the closets so as to reduce mold growth on the walls.

We cleaned the entire room with white vinegar to remove as much mold and mildew as possible.  We wiped down the floor, the walls, and the furniture.  The bottom foot of the walls tend to grow some mold because of the temperature and humidity during the winter.  We're also going to look into using an air filter fan to help circulate more air from the top of the room to the floor.
