Are there certain design elements that appeal to you? There are several elements that appeal to me, but one element that seems to grab my attention is a turned spindle.

So, it was no surprise when I snatched up a head and footboard with turned spindles (at a local antique store) for my son's room. Only $35!
These pics are after we (my husband :)) striped the original paint. I'll be painting this beauty soon, but more to come on that in a later post. So, for the fun...I threw in some more spindley pieces:
