MAKING YOUR OWN STYLISH HEADBOARD FOR A QUEEN BED

Buy a used headboard that is made of wood and refinish it with a little sand paper and work. Then refinish the wood with one of the hundreds of finishes available. Another wonderful option is to buy some fabric at a discount or close-out fabric store and cover the headboard with it. Before applying the fabric, purchase some inexpensive batten and glue it to the headboard so that a raised and soft look is achieved.

Now apply the fabric by stretching it across the headboard and stapling it to the back, or glue it. You can get upholstery buttons at a sewing store and nail them in a design so that the headboard has a more designer look. Friends will be amazed. This allows a change in headboard fabric whenever you want to change the room décor.

Used wrought iron headboards can be decorated by spraying one of several finishes such as copper metallic, or dull metal grey, shiny black, or a brilliant blue. The color pallet is endless, and these colors can be changed often and easily.

Buy enough wooden boxes to make a stackable arrangement that will provide storage and spaces for decor items. The spray paint works well here too. Secure each box to another box with a screw placed in an inconspicuous place to keep the boxes together.

There are some wonderful ideas available in books and magazines at the library.

However, not everyone is willing or able to get a headboard by these methods, and thankfully, there are many retail options waiting for you.
