I love the headboard in the first picture. It looks like nailheads put directly into the wood. Perhaps not so comfy for the back of your head, but it looks great. I like the last headboard, too. The big, green print is really refreshing.
This will be my project for next year....my bed needs a SERIOUS facelift...! I like the selection here.

After discussing the Ikea DALSELV upholstered headboard hack a few weeks ago, I finally got around to posting pics:

thanks... been looking for inspiration for awhile now. i like the weathered shutters, really beautiful. this may be an at-home-over-christmas project.......
pxlchk1, your headboard looks great! The Needle Shop is awesome.
the first one is ok, but the rest are just wrong.
The first and final headboards really work for me.
The first is stunning.
