Upolstered Headboard and Wood Frame?
Comments (2)I agree, but us personally making it, won't happen. Hubby's not so inclined! We did having the upholsterer find someone,but that's such an unknown as to how they'd finish the wood etc. I also think that could get more expensive depending upon who I contract with to make it. Mass production can be less expensive....See MoreShould I paint this headboard black?
Comments (11)So, I read all the comments, then I went up in my bedroom with a camera and had an honest look around. I'll try to post photos in a minute. Right now I have a hodgepodge in there, so I said to myself, what pieces do I really want to keep, and how will this headboard look with them? The things I love: the antique oriental rug, the appliqued quilt, with kind of a nod to arts and crafts, the quartersawn oak dresser, also antique or nearly so, the wing chair, even the unbleached muslin curtains--they are all saying no to this headboard. I think the spindles, which I was going to get rid of, said classic to me. But the rest of the headboard, as bumblebeez said, has a more modern style. I think I've seen magazine spreads where a bed like this would look cool. But taking a hard look at my bedroom makes me realize what an old-fashioned gal I am. Somebody could really do something with this piece, but I think as Mildred and Red implied, if this was right for me, I wouldn't be hesitating or asking for second opinions. Thank you all for helping me to sort this out. It would have taken me forever to paint all those curvy bits anyway....See MoreBlack or white headboards?
Comments (14)Deep curve and a black nightstand. I did a guest room in SW Jersey Cream walls, black iron headboard, white quilt with red throw, and red/white buffalo check drapes and bedskirt. I painted an antique table red to be used as the nightstand. The finish was terrible and a little chunk was missing on the lower back so I decided paint was the best option. We get so many compliments on this room....See MoreWhat should I choose for a head board?
Comments (2)How close would I need to have a pine headboard match my existing furniture? I would have to order, and I'm worried that trying to get a close match would get me something that isn't quite right. Would something like this work? Should I get something different enough from my dressers that it doesn't just look like a bad match. I will change those lamps that are too short....See MoreJenn Hoffman Ambler,PA (7A)
