We could do one of my favorite outside-the-box headboard options—a door or shutters. The shutters fold up or come apart to fit easily into tight spaces. And we can do a single door (which is okay because it'll be the background for a twin bed, not a queen) instead of a double door or two doors. What would you choose? Looks like I'll need to head to the flea market or salvage yard to see what I can find...

The upstairs bedrooms do come with their challenges sometimes don't they? We had to cut bed posts off one time to get our bed upstairs :(
I love your inspiration ideas.
We got rid of our headboard and footboard, but I wanted some sort of focal point above the bed. I went out and bought a couple yards of damask fabric and a large art canvas, then simply stretched the fabric over and stapled in the back. I hung it over the bed and added a wall candle sconce on either side. It's quick and easy, plus you can create a bunch of them for different looks throughout the year.
That would look awesome in my room. We need to talk!
I like the last inspiration pic (Sherry Hart) - the barn type doors look more substantial than the shutters. You could also do a folding screen. Great ideas!
Darn! I was torn at first on your alternative options, but after those last two inspiration photos I think I would go with doors. Any chance you could try a diy version of your initial headboard idea? It would be a lot to take on but might be do-able?
If you like this look...get a piece of thin plywood and glue jute rope or if you like the thinner look use the jute string (comes in various sizes) You could mix the different sizes. Use a larger cording around the edges...Affix it to the wall and BINGO!
Joanne, I think you're on to something there!! I could get two small pieces of plywood (easy to fit up stairs) and wrap them up in jute then affix to wall. I knew there was a way to DIY this; just wasn't sure I was up to it! We'll see...
I love the look of the old shutters...seems perfect for an attic bedroom!! Hope we get to see photos ~
Casey - Thank you so much for replying so quickly about the bamboo blinds :-) I'm sorry to ask another question, but want to make sure these are the blinds(from overstock) that is shown in "my favorite room"? Thank you again :-)

Casey, I have not been here for a while because I am a busy summer Mom. But don't think that I have forgotten you!
The west elm headboard is indeed fabulous. But I can't wait to see what you pick up at the local salvage yard. I know I am going to want the same!
Summer hugs!

Can't wait to see what you come up with! Good luck!
I have been DIYing myself recently. Using Rope like a piece of molding on my dining room ceiling then painting...looks like rope molding at a fraction of the cost! LOVE IT!
Joanne, another brilliant idea. I love it! Send pics!
Hi Karen, they are definitely one and the same. I use these for my own home and regularly for client projects too! They are the best I've found! So affordable and easy to install. Good luck!
Casey ~ THANK YOU THANK YOU - such a sweetheart for getting back with me :-) I will be ordering some.
Thank you for sharing your amazing blog.
Blessings ~ Karen
I love that Sherry Hart and her bedroom design. I wonder what you will come up with? Can't wait to see. Really,
Camille
