  • the most peaceful ceiling in my home...very relaxing! 1

My bedroom ceiling (photo as promised)

This did not photograph as well as I would have liked, but here it is. The details don't all show up but it is nice to lay and look at. This was painted in several sections and hot glued to my ceiling. The only supplies used were: styro-board, egg shell flat latex wall paint, black high gloss enamel paint, a roller, 1 sponge brush, and 2 precision brushes. Total time from start to glued up: 2hrs, 15 min., total size; 11x14, total cost; less than $50.... :)

    Yikes! The landlord was Here!!!!! She loved the artwork but was less than impressed that I ...»
    mounted it to the ceiling. According to her, when the company big wigs come through it may have to be removed. I said; "okay I will remove it, and after they leave I will put it right back up again! And I told her that there will be a lot of VERY disappointed people on Home Talk if I remove it."....lol..no worries kiddies I will keep it as long as possible!

  • An old horse gate found on someone's burn pile is now my headboard with hooks, changeable with every season. Fun!

  • An old grocer's sign became a whimsical wall element behind a daybed for a playroom. Coordinate bedding with the sign graphics and call it done.

  • An old gate and door, trimmed out with some painted metal siding became part of a whimsical shabby retreat for this white bedroom makeover.

How to create your own headboard... from junk!

I love to sway away from the norm for most things home. I just find it incredibly inspiring to find a nothing and make it into a something. ...»

So you've got to know the headboards I use in my own home must be rather unique, right? :) The following pictures are found objects I've used to make headboards for my own home. It's a pretty neat feeling knowing I can knock off my own kind of furniture with a few good finds and a little creativity.

How to do it on a budget:

Just look for one big thing or a collection of small elements that will work with the size bed you have. Mount them, snoop around the thrift stores for pillow cases and quilts, decorate, and enjoy your new look for very little cost.

What do you think? Crazy or cool? Do you have an unusual headboard?

(Visit each picture for the direct link to that project.)
