When I read Carol’s first post on stenciled headboards, it immediately brought to mind this stenciled headboard from Projection Stenciling, by Linda Buckingham & Leslie Bird. The headboard pattern found in the book is also currently available as a free download from Buckingham Stencils. Projection stenciling is a great method for a large stenciling project like this, because it is so budget-friendly.
I came across this pink paisley headboard on the Just Deanna blog. She used a headboard template from MarthaStewart.com and the Avant Garde Paisley Stencil from Stencil Ease.
The pattern for this painted headboard, from Goodhousekeeping.com, is available as a pdf download on their website.
