I was sad to see our old headboard go, but it just didn't fit our new place. I knew it'd be nearly impossible to find another headboard similar & for $8 (I know, it was a major steal), but I kept my eyes peeled anyway. I didn't end up with an upholstered headboard, but I am happy with what I did find. We also replaced our bedding. I love the rusty orange color of this quilt, but truly Chris & I can't stand it. It's scratchy & catches on even the softest of skin. I can't rub my hands along the quilt without cringing. It's like nails on a chalkboard. So now I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of this beauty (discovered via AnnilyGreen). Apparently the couple I bought this headboard from had just refinished it, but then updated their home & bought new furniture to match. It's a gorgeous hard wood headboard in perfect condition. I got it for $40! I'm extremely happy with it. The projector part of me wants to get some leather & make an upholstered insert. I don't imagine it would be too difficult to attach something like that, but I probably won't get around to doing that project for some time. As it is, I have yet to stain our new dresser, stain our new music stool or add the finishing touches to our handmade table. One project at a time, Melissa. ONE project at a time. On another note, Penelope thinks she's invisible with her blanket over her head. Right after I bought this headboard (a few weeks ago) she was supposed to be napping in her room, but instead wandered the house with the blanket atop her head. She was supposed to get a time out for wandering out of her room during nap-time/quiet-time, but I was a softie. I thought she was being too cute for a time out.
