A while ago a wrote about how I wanted to re-do my bedroom. I want to paint the walls a very light warm gray and maybe paint my dresser a glossy black, or buy the low Malm dresser from Ikea in brown-black. Anyways, I still wasn't sure about what I wanted to do with my bed, right now I have an antique iron bed (painted white), it's very shabby chic, which is so NOT what I'm into now. That was a phase, my tastes have evolved....
Well, I was reading Design*Sponge last week and found great DIY instructions on how to make your own upholstered headboard! Super easy too! Once I save some money to re-do my bedroom, this will probably be the first thing i do.
Right now, I'm trying to figure out what kind of a fabric I want to use to upholster it, I'm thinking of a fabric with bold yellow pattern on it. I want to have my yellow suzani folded at the foot of the bed--it's too small to use as a bed cover--so I want to have a bold pattern at the other end of the bed to balance it out. Here are some ideas....

Okay, I haven't totally thought this through and figured out the scales of the patterns on these fabrics, but these are just some general ideas for the colors. I will probably end up looking through our office stash of leftover fabrics from previous clients....which is perfect for my non-existent budget! Designer for free, best design of all!
Here is the finished headboard from Design*Sponge....so glamorous! Love it! Link to post with DIY instructions here.
