a place to rest your head

October 24, 2009

It's so unfortunate that many people totally disregard the most important feature in the bedroom - your bed!  I absolutely love it when people add some flair to the headboard and create an awesome focal point. If done right, it can be a great start to developing a stunning bedroom retreat. Here are some awesome options in which to be inspired...


Vintage letters set the stage for lots of interest and the lantern adds a cool pop of color!
By far my favorite! 


Sheers hung behind the bed and an ornate frame suspended
from wire is so clever, and might I add... chic!




How cute is this? Vintage records are colorful, sturdy, and can be picked up at your local
Goodwill for next to nothing! Definitely a win-win situation!




Your favorite tapestry and a nice drapery rod collaborate to form a delicate headboard that you can change as often as your bed partner - totally kidding.


Your old wrought iron screen desperate for a makeover?
Just pick up your favorite color, spray, mount, and enjoy.




With more substantial light fixtures, this could of been a home run,
but I love the thought of using canvases. In this particular space, using two kind of reminds of the idea of two becoming one! :) You can cover it with fabric or paint 'till your heart's desire.

Moral of the story? Think outside of the bed frame people! I promise you'll be glad you did!
