ideas for artwork over headboard
Comments (38)Just a quick update....the "Fly Home" canvas arrived yesterday - we love it! Had already decided it would not go in the bedroom. (Thanks, again, Perky, for photo help!) It's too big and colorful, etc. So, the Ballard Grand Bouquet plaque will be hung over our bed instead (as soon as it arrives - I love packages!) Instead, we moved a piece of existing artwork and put it in the master bath (where I intended the Ballard plaque to go), hung "Fly Home" in its place, and all is perfect. It looks like I actually knew what I was doing - ha. I was a little worried about the pinks in it, but they're very subtle, and they bring out the pink in some paintings I bought on vacation in Hilton Head (the first purchases I made for this house.) So it all worked out and life is good ......yea!...See MoreHeadboard question/ ideas
Comments (10)I've been watching on craigslist but haven't seen anything - we're in a rural area so my options are pretty limited. I hadn't thought of the idea of two twin headboards which could be a good alternative. I like the idea of the Target one - thanks graywings. I'll have to check into availability/shipping. I was trying to stay away from padded due to allergies/dust; however with a slipcover it could easily be washed or interchanged. I had my heart set on a metal headboard for one of the rooms, but might need to reconsider....See MorePadded headboards and 'hair oils'
Comments (50)Tina, I do love the flax fabric. They also had that at the fabric store. It has no reds, though, and I'd have to completely re-do the room around the flax fabric. I'd have to lose my red rug, and all of my throw pillows, etc. My inspiration pic is a little too blue for my taste, but I love the style, which is what I was drooling over. I'm a little discouraged today, as I really wanted to make this headboard this weekend (Dh is off work Fri-Tues, so I'd have it done in no time.) There's something about the fabric I bought that's just not quite "right", though I can't really put my finger on it. grrrrr........See MoreFuture Guest Room: Fabric for headboard, bed.

Comments (14)Yes, you can order just the headboard and use a heavy duty bed frame. That's what I did with the Charles P Rogers iron bed in my guest room. I love the look of the footboard but didn't have much space. Brass Beds of Virginia also offers a low footboard for its iron beds. I like that option better than no footboard because I think the interlocking frame makes for a more sturdy bed. If you go to their website and click on a bed you like you might be able to see an illustration of what the low footboard option would look like....See MoreAnglophilia
