Make Your Own Headboard

Apparently in Australia they call headboards 'bedheads' - which is out of control. Jump over to MSN Australia, and if you can decipher their "English" then you should be able to follow this step-by-step howto on creating your very own headboard.

Headboards can have a dramatic effect on any bedroom, but they tend not to come cheap. If you don't have a lot to spend and you're plagued by a tiny bed in a big bedroom, then maybe a DIY project like this is what you need to create a handsome focal point while balancing the space.

The different headboard guides offered in the howto all end up in the $70 ballpark, which isn't too bad at all.
