I know ... I've barely changed a thing. And the room feels naked without the headboard!
I've made a little more progress ... although there is nothing to show for it yet. A friend, Lauren, is making me a headboard and I've selected the model. Although I was originally set on a tufted headboard, I decided against it. We own pin-tucked bedding and didn't think it would look right with a tufted option. Instead I decided on this nailhead, wingback beauty.
I'm geeked. She is custom order so I have to be patient and wait my turn. I'm trying my hardest to channel every bit of patience in me. Isn't she worth the wait? Better yet, Lauren sent me some fabric choices ...
I told her I absolutely had to have plush, velvy and she pulled through. Look at the selection I laid out on my dining table {so may options}!
Here is where I feel like I've taken a step back. Originally I was set on a purple or pink headboard and Kelly Wearstler Bengal Bazaar pillows {remember?}. Now my brain is spinning and I can't make a decision! Here are some options I've put together. With the amount of time I have, I'm likely to try every combination.
Please help - I'm like a fat kid at the candy store and want it all!
3/4 with the pink headboard is my favorite. If your boy will let this option happen you have seriously found a winner! Gorgeous!!!

Funny -- I had someone ask me the other day what the point of a headboard was and was like, "HELLO?! A room is naked without one!" So I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteAs for your options, I say pick the most neutral headboard option that you think you could love for years to come. That way, it's easy to switch out bedding and pillows for an entirely different look.
I am all about the yellow. Mustard with brass nail heads looks amazing. Otherwise, I would go with the dusty rose. Tough choice - love the pillow options!

Why not paint the headboard wall a deeper, richer shade of the faux throw and scarf three of your dad's Calder circus prints for above the bed. In 2 hours and $40 it would be a nice mini make over and you could build from there.
ReplyDeleteCara haha your room is soos naked, and right about now im wishing I brought a fur throw with me to Roma like yours, I really like the Pink option because it is so girly and cute but Im also a big fan of the Olive!
ReplyDeleteDo you think I can convince Lauren to make me a headboard too? I definitely need something custom because I don't have much space before the window above my bed starts! Could you pass on my details in case she is interested?
