the headboard wardrobe
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)

a persian rug, can be flat enough to work. i love this idea on the sea grass headboard. it evokes the feel of persian area rugs on sisal. (i'd be a tad nervous about the smell on this one....but that's just me)persian rug found on ebay

tracey, love that idea too! i think there are some amazing antique throws and fabrics out there that would be beautiful.
