AT reader Erika writes in with a sourcing question, hoping to emulate the bedroom adornments from a favourite television show:
Where can I find the fabric from Serena's headboard on Gossip Girl? Or do you know anything similar?
Got a good question you'd like answered? Send your queries and a photo or two illustrating your question, and we'll see if the ATLA team or our readers can help you out.
Erika, we recommend you check out On the Set post by Grace that included this description of the very same headboard:
According to the show's stylist, Serena's sense of style was based loosely around Kate Moss' anything goes attitude. Like her wardrobe, Serena's bedroom is mish mash of glamour clichés (metallic pillows! Gold satin sheets!), designer statements (the Bourgie lamp on her nightstand), vintage finds (that nightstand looks like something we'd seen on Craigslist), and the unexpected (gold polka dot panels / headboard).
A good resource to match this design would be a trip down the LA Downtown Fashion District, where a shop like Michael Levine's might be able to steer you to a similar design.

seems like it could be pretty easy to fab up on your own. just buy wood frame components at any art story, assemble them (very easy), and use a staple gun to fasten fabric of your choice over some quilting batt to the frame.
might have to try it myself!

I have no ideas about where to find the fabric but there are step by step instructions on how to make that headboard on Jonathan Fong's site, if one were so inclined.
