DIY headboard ideas

Our huge, comfy, delicious, and absolutely snugly cloud of a bed, aka favorite place on Earth, has never had a headboard.


Poor little thing!
When the bed was next to the wall the absence of a headboard was like a sore in my eyes. It’s been a bit better since we moved it to the window. The itch to have a headboard is still there. It’s officially one of my DIY projects for the summer. No surprise here, I’m puzzled as to what direction I want to go. For a while I was set on a padded headboard.
I wanted to either have a neutral color headboard with colorful bedding…

 


I also love the idea of a very colorful headboard with white bedding. 
 

I’m still considering these options even though my view of the whole wide world changed when I saw this… 


 This rediculouslycrazyawesome headboard was made by Dana @ House Tweaking.
 
 What am I to do with all of these options, people??? I want them all and now… Maybe we should buy a bigger house and all my problems will be solved… Oh wait… will they?
 
Which option appeals to you? Uno, dos o tres? 
 
PS: I love that I can ask for your opinions on here and hear suggestions… Makes it easier to at least scratch off a few options from my brain. Muchicimas gracias, a todos. (yes, I learn a few things from my ESL students:))

  1. I wouldn’t do anything too high because of the window. But the wooden one with “Love” on it is soooo a-MA-zing.

  2. I agree with Casi given your current location of the bed. Otherwise I would also suggest a reclaimed wooden door…I’ve seen it done on HGTV a few times and LOVED it!

  3. Yes, definitely not something too high. Even though I’m thinking about moving the bed to its original spot by the wall… I don’t know yet!

    A wooden door!!!! OMG! This is genius and I have never seen or heard anything like that! I’m definitely considering. I need to look for inspiration pictures. THANK YOU, LAURA!

  4. Dana is ridiculous for that headboard, gorgeous! I have a light turquoise tufted headboard in my bedroom and I feel trapped in terms of redecorating possibilities. Go neutral. You can always change your quilts and room paint. I have serious buyers remorse. I wish I went with a neutral.
