Maybe someday I will get my Bedroom Redo done {It’s only been 7 months, come on!}. Leigh @ Dirt Cheap Decor sent me an email about her great headboard — at the top of the post — and it got me thinking about my bedroom redo and so I have been going through my files. I thought I would share some of them with you.
And if you have a great headboard idea, I’d love for you to share it with us in the comments.
Have a great night!
XOXO

    The chalkboard headboard is an amazing idea. I’m concerned about chalk dust, though.

    The chalkboard idea as a headboard is amazing. I would love to try this but I worry a bit about chalk dust. Oh well.

    Hi!
    Love your blog. I made my headboard out of Ikea mirrors. I was itching to do something different. Here is a link to my blog post about it:

    http://smallchangesbigimprovements.com/2012/04/02/ikea-mirror-headboard/

    I linked to your blog from mine!

    Wonderful, A headboard can really be a great focal point for a bedroom, and just because you own a regular ol’ bed doesn’t mean it can’t have a regal backdrop.Simply paint a block of color the width of the bed, and add a small stencil in another shade for a fun bit of detailing.

    Hi! The chalkboard headboard is mine 🙂 I blog for Apartment Therapy and photographed my bedroom for a post two years ago. Its the last photo in this post here:

    Glad you like it! I've moved since and I miss my old bedroom!

    Thanks so much for posting this! For 3 years I've been trying to find the perfect headboard for my bedroom.
    The sloped ceiling was a challenge, you've inspired me.
    I'll send you a photo of the finished product.

    So many pretty options. I need to build a headboard!

  15. Tauni says

    August 17, 2010 at 7:20 AM

    Oh my goodness. What a plethora of fantastic ideas and each one so unique. Wonderful job gathering them up to share!

  16. Sue (Someone's Mom) says

    August 15, 2010 at 6:36 PM

    There are some ideas here that I would never have dreamed up…and some are so clever. If I still had kids at home I'd do that letter headboard in their rooms in a heartbeat!

  17. Carmie, the Single Nester says

    August 15, 2010 at 3:28 PM

    Great headboard ideas. I would be afraid that some of them might fall down – wink wink 🙂

  18. Tracy Suzanne says

    August 14, 2010 at 5:52 AM

    Hey Jen. I love post like this. So many great and unique ideas. Thanks for sharing it with us. I like the mantle piece one but there needs to be something below it to lean against.

    Have a fun filled weekend. Hugs…Tracy 🙂

    P.S. I'm having a giveaway. I hope you stop by and enter.

    These are amazing…I'm especially LOVING the painted and framed headboard…WOW! I'll be sending my readers to this post!

    wow!

    such great inspiration pieces in this post. i am in such a bedroom overhaul need! i don't even know which one is my fave. they are all incredible.

    i've bookmarked this post.
    so awesome. thanks.

  23. CandaceAshley says

    August 13, 2010 at 7:37 PM

    I really love the headboard ideas! I think this is one place people overlook, or forget that it can really anchor your bed, and dress up a room. Wonderful ideas, my next house will hopefully have more bedrooms I can experiment!!

  24. The Blonde Duck says

    August 13, 2010 at 7:10 PM

    I like the chalkboard one.

  27. McKell says

    August 13, 2010 at 5:04 PM

    oooh, i love ALL of them!! especially the old windows. i have a giant old window that was at my house when we bought it. eventually i want to do something with that 🙂

  28. Elz says

    August 13, 2010 at 4:51 PM

    I love those ideas. I am in the process of redoing my guest room and am using 2 huge pillows (like floor pillows) in place of a headboard. I think I like it…so far.

  29. Jill says

    August 13, 2010 at 4:14 PM

    Thanks so much for putting this together! My boyfriend needs a headboard, and I'm trying to "decorate" his room, which will our room at some point. I think might put together a similar thing and make him chose out of those. lol

  30. Michelle says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:56 PM

    Thank you so much for these! My husband and I both like to read in bed and we don't have a head board and it drives me nuts. I needed some inspiration and here it is! :o)

  31. Leigh says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:02 PM

    I love all of those great ideas! I especially love the old hankies (I collect those). Thanks for featuring my headboard, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to see it on your blog!

    August 13, 2010 at 2:40 PM

    Before I convinced my husband to buy the curved headboard we have now, which allows us to sit up and read in bed, we had a mirror clamped to the wall. The chalk board idea would be really great for kids, but the embroidery headboard is really inventive!

  33. Sojo says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:30 PM

    These are all great headboard ideas!! I will be experimenting in my guest bedroom 🙂

  34. Jessica says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:06 PM

    these are all beautiful! now, i wish i hadn't bought a new king size bed a few months ago.. we had a queen with no head or foot board. hmm…

  35. Chelsie Pratt says

    August 13, 2010 at 1:14 PM

    Wow, I love all these great ideas! I actually just build my own headboard back in March, but this post has me thinking I should fancy it up somehow. These are all so cute!

    August 13, 2010 at 12:39 PM

    WOW! Look at all these awesome headboard ideas — I feel like I might need 20 beds so I can have all of them. 🙂 Haha! Thanks so much for sharing all these, Jen!

  37. Curlicue a.k.a. Kathy, KD, Kate and my favorite, Miss Kat says

    August 13, 2010 at 12:31 PM

    I've been wanting a headboard for years but all that I saw out there were the metal ones. Thanks for the great ideas!

  38. ♥ Shrinking Kenz ♥ says

    August 13, 2010 at 6:53 AM

    Oh wow! I love thees headboards! It makes me excited to get a new apartment and decorate it. I think I'll need you to come back to NY to help me. 😉

    I love the doors and the chalkboard…and the panels..yes, all of them really. Wow…awesome ideas to be found here as always.

  42. Mandy says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:42 AM

    perfect timing! I was just discussing a bed option for my room…

  43. Krystal says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:38 AM

    I used three rod iron garden trellis thingies for our king sized headboard, not really sure what they are, but they were in the garden section at a local store. They look really good and were cheap!

    Loved all your ideas!

  44. SurvivorDiane says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:30 AM

    I was thrilled when I saw what your post was. Now I'm bummed………….. my daughter needs a King sized headboard. Now the options are too many. Kidding, of course, sorta. What to do what to do?

  45. Amanda says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:21 AM

    Fabulous post! I'm going out of town until Monday, but when I get back I'll feature this on Craft Gossip. Love it!

  46. Candy (Mama Lion) says

    August 13, 2010 at 3:13 AM

    this was an amazing post. i loved looking at all of these. how creative was the chalkboard and the empty frame. love it!

  47. Connie W says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:47 AM

    Wow…there are some really great ideas in there!

  48. Richella says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:43 AM

    A great collection of ideas, Jen! And of course you will get yours done someday! Just make sure you show us when you do!

  49. Erin Zacharda says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:18 AM

    I love the first one – using old doors as a headboard – what a fabulous idea! I wish I had lots of rooms to fill so that I could try out all kinds of cool headboards 🙂 The possibilities are endless!
    Thanks for sharing these fun ideas.
    ~Erin

  50. Lei says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:17 AM

    There's a site that sells vinyl headboards – basically cool outlines of headboards that go right on the wall. They are pretty cool!

  51. Jackie says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:14 AM

    As always, I love your posts. Here's wishing I had been a bit more creative when we did our bedroom. There's always the next house, right?

  52. C.R.A.F.T. says

  53. Cara says

    August 13, 2010 at 2:11 AM

    These are some really unique headboards! Thank you so much for sharing them. I'm in the middle of a master bedroom makeover, and we're planning on making a headboard. I intended to use a dropcloth to upholster one and add nailhead trim, but this post may have me going in a different direction. Thanks for the inspiration.

  54. Wendy says

    August 13, 2010 at 1:46 AM

    They are some great ideas! I love how each one is beautiful and unique! I am really liking the last photo and the color choices in the room! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  58. Amanda @ Serenity Now says

    August 13, 2010 at 1:37 AM

    Those are so cool, Jen!!! Darn me and my bland traditional bedroom set. (Hubby is uber traditional about that stuff–there will be no painting of the bedroom furniture) 🙁

    Great ideas though!
