Creative Headboard (or lack therof) Ideas
I don't think I ever had an actual bed with a headboard when I was in my twenties. It was usually a cheap metal frame and a box spring and mattress from 1-800-US-MATTRESS. I had grand plans to mount old shingles or a wrought iron garden gate to the wall someday, but lacked the objects and the skills!
Finally, when I turned 30, I realized I had a bunch of pairs of shoes in my closet that I wore maybe once a year that cost more than the bed I wanted from Crate and Barrel that I would use about 350 nights a year. Upon this stunning realization, I reached into my ridiculously overpriced handbag and finally ordered up a "real bed."
The following are a mix of some beautiful "real beds" with traditional headboards, and a slew of creative ideas for headboard replacements.
