Give your bedroom a fresh look for less than $500. After a trip to a fabric store, Southern Living discovered an affordable kit that enables you to create your own upholstered headboard. We chose an inexpensive bedding set as a practical means of getting a great look; then we bought unlined draperies to upholster the headboard. Upholstered headboards made in drapery workrooms have long been a classic means of bringing the softness of fabric to the bedroom, but with this kit, you can change the covering whenever you want a new look. » see room
