We've been working on a small project with a very small budget. Mind you, we're really not the decorate-on-a dime kinda people. Those decorating shows that teach you how to make a volleyball net out of the plastic canholders? Or ottoman out of empty Coke bottles? No thanks. However, there are ways to make your house look nice on a budget, and having a colorful, pretty headboard for your bed is one of them. It's really pretty when you choose a striking fabric that's colorful and fun. The headboards cost about $500-600 to make, and usually you can have a good local, upholsterer make it for you.
If you are looking for headboard models, here are some good ones from
Edward Ferrell. You can go to the site and download a tearsheet (you can order from them too, but it's kinda expensive).
Bring this to your favorite upholsterer along with your favorite fabric and voila...
