•  Create Your Own-Another great way to get a headboard for your bedroom is by making your own.  I recently came across this website, http://www.320sycamoreblog.com/2012/04/diy-tufted-headboard.html.  It had a step by step tutorial on how to create a headboard with pegboard, foam & fabric.  It looked just like one you would purchase at Anthropology.
• Use Trim, Fabric Paint or Panels on the Wall-Another great way to create a headboard is with trim, paint or wood panels.  I recently saw a blog post that took wood pallets, stained them & attached them to the wall behind the bed.  It gave the room an old cottage feel and really looked sleek.
