seriously
brilliant idea that i wish i could say i invented (domino
june/
july '08) for those of us who can't leave well enough alone or have a thing for textiles. the inter-changeable headboard....
start with a great basic, angular headboard (this,
mandalay headboard from
wshome.com ~not known for their great prices-but you get the idea)
i'm you could find something similar for much less.
even a slipped covered, solid colored headboard would work well.
then your ever changing headboard awaits you. a flat weave cotton rug would work the best.
the possibilities are absolutely endless.

one of the choice things about this idea, is that you needn't spend a lot to get a great look. (
i'd probably sew two of this together, for wider coverage)

Saw it last night, browsing through my Domino. I use an antique quilt (its in yellows) in the summer to switch out my headboard- charcoal gray normally. I love changing things seasonally, then you never tire of one item.
Beautiful! Is this what your new headboard will look like? I am still longing for the old white bed.LOL
anon...:( i'm sad too! i loved that headboard. i miss that headboard...but this gives me new hope! if i get bored with my new one, throw a rug on it!
tracey, love that idea too! i think there are some amazing antique throws and fabrics out there that would be beautiful.
I honed on this article right away too....well...because I have those same headboards: the seagrass one in my daughter's room and the white slipcovered one in a guest room. They both need a little something. I thought this idea was great!
Where is the yellow, flowered quilt from? I love it!
For the white pillows having a border blue stripe fabric, on the seagrass headboard image, what fabric is this? Great pairing! Thanks
