For the Head of Your Bed

I'm a sucker for anything upholstered, and upholstered headboards are one of my favorite things! I love the warm and welcoming feel they bring to the bedroom. One of the great things about upholstered headboards is that they are so versatile and can be incorporated into many different personal design styles. They can be calm or bold, girly or masculine (that's right guys!), traditional or modern. These headboards can also be a good weekend DIY project!


Here are some of my favorites right now:

Pottery Barn- Raleigh Upholstered Camelback Bed & Headboard with Nailhead.
I really like the classic camelback shape with the masculine nailhead trim and exposed block feet.
Shown upholstered in camel colored twill fabric.

 Pottery Barn- Georgetown Tufted Headboard. Clean, straight lines. Need I say more?

I've made a few upholstered headboards in the past, but they were nothing fancy...I think I'm going to figure out how to make a king size wing back headboard for myself! 

Any favorite How To's out there? Has anyone made their own wing back headboard? I'm sure the construction would be similar to a GIANT chair back! Ha ha..That would be one huge chair!! Speaking of big chairs...

World's Biggest Rocking Chair just happens to be found in Cuba, MO

Let me see what you got, folks!
