sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite!

WANTED: DIY headboard ideas:  here are some i love:
headboard ideas below found here




You can make this ultramodern headboard in an hour, even if you have only a couple of bucks in your purse. Buy a piece of cheap plywood from your local home supply store. Sand it, stain it, seal it, then set it behind your bed and sleep tight knowing you're surrounded by serious style.


Knock knock. Who's there? A door. A door who? Don't you just adore this idea for a headboard to adorn your bedroom wall? We do! Find a flea market door with great architectural details. Attach it to the wall behind the bed or directly to the bed frame. Stack two or three doors for a taller, more dramatic look.


Add architectural interest to your bedroom without completely remodeling. Install high wainscoting behind your bed and top it with a store-bought shelf. Attach sconces to each side of the bed to eliminate the need for bedside tables. This clean and classic design will never go out of style.

Scour salvage stores for an old fireplace mantel wide enough to surround your bed. Chipping paint (as long as it is lead-free) adds character, so embrace imperfections! Seashells glued to the mirror and piled on the mantel contribute loads of beachy charm.


You know those genius ideas you have right before you fall asleep and can't seem to remember in the morning? Now you have a way to keep track of them. Use crown molding, a large picture frame, or an old mirror frame (minus the mirror) to craft this dramatic heaboard. Paint a sheet of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) with a few coats of chalkboard paint. Allow the paint to dry fully between coats. Place the MDF inside the frame and tuck it behind the bed. Remember to stock up on chalk!
