Recently I have been seeing quite a few painted headboards in my monthly magazines. I’m really inspired by this idea for a few different reasons. One being that It involves paint and walls…two of my favorite things to play with. Another is that it such a creative and lower cost alternative to an expensive, and flashy headboard. I have one client who spent over a $1,000 on a stunning headboard for her younger daughter after showing her fabrics and not knowing the actual costs. The headboard is certainly a masterpiece that will live in there family for many lifetimes, but for those of you with out the extra cash during these wild economic times, Painting a headboard can be an excellent alternative.
Jacob and I have an idea in mind for our bedroom in which we are going to tape off a framed rectangle with 3M Blue tape, and then hang a painted white mirror in the middle for a little more decadance. I’ll be sure to post the final results once we get this finished. All its going to cost is the total of a bucket of paint, a small roll of tape, roller, tray, and roller nap. So roughly, $50.00 and little bit of time.
Can’t wait to see how it turns out! If you have a painted headboard that you would like to share please email them over to me @ lulupainting@gmail.com.

Hi,
I love the painted (on the wall) headboard idea you psoeted on your blog. Do you know how one can do that, is there a stencil somewhere? I don’t think I could do it freehand. Thanks, Jill
I have never seen that idea before. We are looking to revamp our bedroom in the next few months and may give this a go. Thanks for sharing
