Room for Improvement – Headboard options

While we wait for the fabric samples to come in – any day now – I’ve been working up headboard options. I was initially thinking of a canopy treatment to take advantage of the eve overhead, but decided that it would compete visually with the window treatment on the window next to the bed. A couple of days ago, I was in Elite Repeat a consignment shop located in Hanover, MA and found a pair of fabulous trellises…

…that I thought would make a really cool headboard!
But, they aren’t particularly comfy on the back of the head and I’d have to come up with some attached cushions. This would be a great, inexpensive, idea for a guest room; unusual and not everyday. The trellises are $69.00 each.

Our other option is a custom upholstered headboard, which will certainly be more comfortable and luxurious looking. This is the option we’re aiming towards.

I also found this sweet metal bench at the consignment shop that might work wonderfully for extra seating in the room. Lay in a bench cushion and a couple of pillows, we’d be in business!

I’m now thinking about window treatment styles…
