Wing Upholstered Bed

I definately would like to do a wing upholstered bed. I follow a blog named "you paid more than me" and she reupholsters furniture. What caught my eye was the wingback chairs and settes she has redone and then I saw the wing upholstered headboards she posted. BEAUTIFUL. I have a design plan on how to make one. I just need to pick the color of fabric I want for the headboard.
I am going to paint the walls a linen-beige color-similar to the walls in the photos.
I have an off-white bedspread and pillows-so I would just need to add some throw pillows which shouldn't be that expensive.
I love them all-but which would be best for my room? I will have to study these for awhile.
HEADBOARD # 1


HEADBOARD # 2

The headboard is very light in color which I love.
HEADBOARD # 3
I really like this one. Not only do I get to see what it looks like with a king size bed but the bedspread is very similar to mine and the tables would be a very close finish to what I would have. (cameron diaz's room in "Holiday")

Suggestions Please

Chris said I can redo the master and get new furniture if I come up with the money to do so. Right now I have a budget of $100.00 from my craiglist sales-LOVE IT I get rid of things around the house for $$$$. My sister in law, Stephanie (she is the best) has sent me another link-this time "how to create your own headboard" I plan to do this. I just need to pick out the best fabric-that I won't change my mind on once I get it put on!!!!
MY INSPIRATION:


(still looking for more pictures so if you have any ideas feel free to email me)

I think this is more than reasonable for my budget. Considering the wall color is similar and this is about how much room I have. JUST ONE SMALL PROBLEM.


PROBLEM: The picture above has white trim.
We have honey oak trim and Chris HATES the idea of "white" furniture with oak trim in our room, I HATE the idea of "dark" furniture with oak trim in our room. Neither of us like black furniture with oak trim in our room. My solution-paint our trim white!!!! Chris says ABSOLUTELY NOT!
So as you can see I am in a bit of a delima when it comes to re-doing my Master Bedroom. This is what it is now-except that I sold that dark table on craigslist last night so it is even more empty.



please email me any suggestions on what color of furniture/tables to use?

New Bench


How does this work Papa?

Papa: "well lets see here"

Papa: "did I do it right?"

What does Nicholas think?

I asked Nicholas what he thought of all our projects and he looked at me and said:

"What Mommy?"

So I asked him again..... and he said:
"Yeah"
