I just love the idea of stenciling a headboard vs. having an actual headboard. This works particularly well if you have a small bedroom or guestroom/office space. Here are some great examples:
From the Crest Hotel, Kings Cross, Sydney by Stencil Gallery
Pink Headboard found at blushing apples blog.

Blue Arched Headboard with small vine by Jennifer Oechsle of Attrista Art Decor Studios, Indianapolis.
Another example from The Stencil Library’s Design Inspiration blog.
This stenciled headboard, found on Elle Decor uses The Stencil Library’s Birds & Blossom #1 stencil.

Such inspiring ideas! Maybe I’ll do some stenciling within my headboard…
