My husband and I just got back from a week-long trip down to South Carolina.  I had planned to spend some of my time blogging about my adventures while I was there.  Then I found out that we didn't have internet access where we were staying.  (What?)  So instead, I just decided to kick back and relax, read a few books, and get some much-needed rest.  Now I'm back and ready to dive into a brand new year!

While looking through my design file recently, I noticed a bit of a pattern.  A lot of the bedrooms that I like have upholstered headboards.  I love the luxurious, almost cloud-like feeling they add to a room.  In fact, the "perfect" upholstered headboard has been on my list of "must-haves" for a while now.  The problem is, the few that fit the profile are way out of my price range.  (Don't worry - I figured out a great fix... more to come later!)

Upholstered headboards are kind of the "it" thing right now.  You can find them in all shapes and styles, from elegant chic to contemporary modern; from plain, to tufted, to studded with nail heads.  With a huge price range, they cost anywhere from a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars.  Whew!  The choices are endless.  These are just a few of my favorites.
