The woven texture on this headboard isn't what you might first think. It's paint - not linen. Cut into a shapely form and treated in a deep blue, this "raw linen" headboard is a rich accent at the head of the bed.

For the project, you'll need a paint roller, latex or oil paint, latex or oil glazing liquid, a China bristle brush and utility knife. See the full how-to at Martha Stewart.
