Headboard Monogram

Well, we took a day trip to trusty 'ol IKEA this weekend... It is a 6 hour round trip, so I scoped out the website ahead of time and made a list of everything I wanted. We had visited the one in Cincinnati on our way home at Christmas time after I started getting interested in their stuff while reading my favorite blog. There were several things they had gotten there that I really loved. When we went at Christmas we got a down-alternative comforter (we can't do real down here at the Roberson's... we are hottt sleepers!!) This is the one we ended up with, and LOVE. However, now (during the summer) it's folded up at the foot of the bed and we have a Quilt from Marshall's on there now.
Okay, so back to the original story... Sorry, I got side-tracked. Our trip included picture frames.. I knew I needed to do something different above the bed, but didn't have exactly what I wanted in mind.... However, we did purchase 2 of these and two of these. No real rhyme or reason, that's just what we ended up with, and I knew sometime, somewhere in the house I would use them. So after a few days of deliberating I finally had a "vision" and I wanted a monogram of our initials. I started in Photoshop and was having a hard time getting them to print, so I ended up in good 'ol trusty Microsoft Word, ha!
Anyways, here's the finished product:I thought it looked too "little boy room-ish" but it will stay for now.
Eventually I would like to get new (matching!) furniture, and matching lamps.
I really like this bed from Pottery Barn:

Hey, a girl can dream right!?
