If I saw this headboard at a yard sale or on Craigslist, I probably would have completely overlooked it, but a simple coat of white paint made it absolutely beautiful! And against the deep gray walls? I’m so envious right now :)

Would you somehow attach the headboard to the bed frame, or leave it freestanding?

Love it! A great shape regardless, but it looks especially stunning against the grey wall.

Who knew? I see these headboards at thrift stores all the time. Your transformation of this eyesore is too wonderful!! I also love ;o) the dishtowel pillows and the ribbon trim on the linens…WOW!

I totally noticed the “i love you” ribbon and came back just to comment on that great little touch. Nice work! I love what you’ve done with your bedroom.

See this is a case where tacky 70’s furniture looks GREAT with a paint job.

hi guys – thanks for the comments!

the headboard i got off CL for $40. primed and painted w/ painters touch spray paint. wall color is evening hush by behr. those throw pillows are vday dishtowels from walmart i sewed up for the holiday last week, and if u check out my slideshow i trimmed the sheets w/ “i love you” ribbon. normally it’s white sheets w/ black piping.
