A Banging Headboard Needed.....

So I have my grandparents coming from Canada in March and I need to get the guest room decorated and hahaha basically built, sort of speak. As of  now there is a mattress on the floor, a dresser, curtains, and dvd stands in the room. Basically it has become a storage room, unless we have company over. Because it is my grandparents who are coming I do not want them nor can they sleep on the floor. So I am getting a bed frame and my plan is to make a inexpensive, creative headboard. Recently I have been going to thrift stores, Goodwill, Hobby Lobby, and other little stores around town getting some ideas of what to do. There are so many ideas that I just can't figure out what I want to actually do. My first step should probably should be is to pick a theme for the room, huh! And again I have so many ideas of what I want to do, I am having a hard time choosing.

I came across a few websites that have some good ideas, but I am not finding the "stuff" I need to complete any of them. That's probably the most frustrating part of it all. I'll have a plan or idea in my mind and go out looking for the material. Then they are NOWHERE to be found! Or if I do find something it was completely trashed and not worth the money to actually buy it.

I want to share the few ideas that I have found. I don't want them exactly as the pictures are shown, just something similar to them. And if you have any ideas to make it better or even something different, I will definitely enjoy the reading!!!



This idea seem really cool! I definitely would want to paint something on the doors, they are too white for my taste. And yes, cheap doors are hard to find! Well at least here in El Paso it is, lol. This room just gave me the feeling of crisp and clean and I liked it!!






This was probably the easiest idea to find. I found several screens in Hobby Lobby, but the only problem with them was that they were not long enough for the bed itself. If I were to buy two screens then it would be too long. So that is the problem I am having with this idea, other that I love this one too!







Now I just fell in love with this entire idea! I thought it was a pretty simple idea except I CAN NOT draw worth a darn, lol. It gives the room a whimsical and fresh kind of theme, I feel. I do love the colors as well. Another inexpensive idea... wood, paints, and a good drawing hand, lol.






I really liked the idea of the pictures being held up by ribbon and hangers. This seemed like a very inexpensive and chic design. Plus I can make it have a personal touch to having a simple touch with whatever I put in the picture frames. So I do like this idea a lot. 


So those are just a few of the ideas that I have found so far that I really liked and that fit into the budget I was try to have. So again if anyone has anymore good ideas please send them MY WAY!!! I have to have this project done by the 3rd week of March.

  1. I painted a headboard once on the wall! It was cool! And just put a bunch of throw pillows. OR, make a wood frame and stretch fabric across it and you can make it pillowy by stufffing it with some batting!
