Scarves Over my Bed Headboard for an Optical Illusion in Sizing

When we bought our bedroom set, we bought the headboard and mattresses in a QUEEN SIZE. Many, many years later we decided to changed our mattresses to a KING SIZE. Me in love (still) with my headboard, not being financially able to change it, and not wanting to damage my own, I decided to work with what I had using scarves. This is what I did with the scarves in order to conceal the extra inches of the mattresses from the left and right sides of the HB. What do you think about the idea?

    Picture showing how the scarves are entertaining/distracting the eyes in order for one not to notice the two different widths between the headboard and the mattress....

    Possibly a better picture for viewing the work of the scarves.

    The scarves on a slight angle for another view.

    Lieda..forget the negative remarks on here..the question is..."Do you like it?"...Yes?..than nothing else really matters! I love it! I don't have a headboard yet for my cali-king bed but i did hang a long draping scarf over the bed with a large mirror in it until I get done making my headboard. Smashing idea and good job Lieda!
