Easter Home Tour 2016

Simple, comforting, and totally non-perishable.

The only thing holding it up at this point will be the rail down the middle and all the junk that you keep under your bed..The next thing you need to do is take three of the wooden slats and slid them into place on the bed underneath the skirt, holding it up.

Do this at the head of the bed, the foot, and the middle.The actual skirt part will come over the end of the slats and be pinned in place against the inside of the bed frame.You’ll repeat this on the other side too.. After that it gets really easy.

The rest of the slats can just go in place over top of everything.The pressure of having them end to end on either side will pinch the skirt into place and keep it just where you want it.

You can adjust it a bit here and there as you ad the slats, but it will mostly go right where it needs to..

The “on top” pieces just pinch the top of the skirt against the frame and allow you to keep it at a perfect length for your bed.Now to fill in all your joints and screw holes..

It looks and sounds boring and tedious, but I promise you it can be so simple!Grab your drywall mud and your scraper/spatula thing and I’ll show you!.

If you need to tape joints or corners, do those first.Apply a bit of mud under the tape and then again over top.. Now for the screw holes.
