Headboard Ideas

 

{Headboard Ideas }

I would like to say our recent adventure in our flip house was a success, 

as in it sold quickly and we have moved onto another house.

I would like to say that very much.

But, it’s still on the market – waiting for the buying season to kick back in again.

No worries, we have faith and know it’s just a matter of time before the

perfect couple comes along looking for a cute house which was remodeled with a ton of love.

 

I thought I would share a little more of the design details I added to this home when I started staging.

Naturally, the money was getting tight at the end.  

But, as a former Realtor, I also knew the importance of staging a property for sell.

So, I got on my thinking cap and “shopped my home” for some items in storage.

 

 

The bed itself was an easy fix. 

My son had a queen-sized blow-up mattress that came with its own stand.

{FYI, this is what we used when we went camping and boy-oh-boy did it save our backs.}

🙂

The one thing I purchased for this bed was this pillow…

Ain’t she purdy?

I love this bird print.

{ $12 at Marshall’s. }

I had two small tables in storage, as well.

A small one with some carving on the front and a wood top.

The small bird lamp was purchased this Spring when Suzy at Worthing Court and I

took a little trip down to Georgia to visit Debbie at Confessions of a Plate Addict.

I found this little jewel at The Queen of Hearts, a fabulous vintage and antique shop.

Squeal!  A little lamp + a little bird = Love at first sight.

 

The second table, I must confess, was a mess.

Plain and simple and dinged up from about 6 moves across the World.

 

(sorry I don’t have a before and after)

But a quick coat of paint on the top…

(I love the way the beaded trim comes out with the new paint)

… and a quick coat of a dark stain on the legs was all it needed.

I think I honestly spent about 30 mins in this table makeover.

 

But, what was stumping me was a headboard.

I wanted something different. But, most of all I wanted something cheap.

Or better yet…FREE!  🙂

Enter…three pieces of wrought iron which were sitting in my “Yard Sale Pile.”

I had two oblong decorative panels…

and one narrow decorative piece which had hung above a doorway.

I actually hung these using Command Strips.

(no damage to walls)

A blue coverlet rolled up at the end of the bed, some blue throw pillows

borrowed from my home. and a few accessories…and I had an

“almost”-free staged Master Bedroom.

 

I don’t know about you – but in MY book…almost FREE is “a very good thing.”

I would love for you to pin this to your favorite Pinterest Boards…
