Obsessing

This girl wants an upholstered headboard...I mean I really really want. I just love the extra layer they add in the bedroom. I also love any opportunity to use fabulous fabric. I am currently digging the shape of Michelle Adam's yellow floral headboard. I would love to upholster my future headboard in a masculine, graphic pattern cut in an intricate, feminine shape. Thoughts? Do you love upholstered headboards? Is it worth a DIY or should I invest in a well made one?

(this would be may shape of choice but an a more "manly" fabric)

Which one is your favorite headboard from the ones shown? Or link me to your favorite headboard somewhere else!

  1. I love all of those! I'd say DIY if you do a basic rectangular shape but get an experienced upholsterer if you're going to do anything more shapely.

  2. DIY for sure! Did you see my post on making an upholstered headboard? I made a really simple high back rectangular shaped headboard and I love it! It was really easy to make + you can always recover it when you get bored! I suggest getting help from your dad or BF for some of it though, especially if you are wanting to cut out a shape. Let me know if you get any questions on it! PS- I can't remember exactly how much mine cost but it was under $100 for everything!

  3. Those are all beautiful. I can definitely see why you are wanting one. I think you should try to tackle it as a DIY project as well. You should shop around at some flea markets and yard sales for an expensive headboard.
