Hello

If you are a believer in Feng Shui, I am told that headboards in the bedroom provide stability.

I wouldn't know about that, but if you were to take a peek at some of these fabulously easy to re-create headboards, homemade headboards will certainly feature prominently in your near future!

I simply love the idea of a chalkboard headboard. Your child can create new art everyday. You could also write some cute messages for him like "wake up on the bright side!!" or "Dream Wild Dreams Tonight".


Recycled Headboard

The internet is alive with creative headboard ideas of re-purposing old doors, windows and even wooden planks. My favorite of the lot is this one though. A recycled dresser mirror gives the beautiful curves and a subtle elegance to the bed.


Sports Themed Headboard

I love tall headboards. I think they make the bed look oh-so-luxurious. And this is so easy, I might decide to give it a try. All you need is a custom frame and wallpaper. Hmmm...
