Is a headboard possible?

[sassafrass]

I hate my bedroom. It's set up so stupidly. I have 3 big closets (I know, poor me) which make the room so small. the bed is in the only spot that it can be and that window is killing me.

I really want to make a headboard but I'm not sure that it can be done. The bed can't really go any more to the right. There is a night table there that my husband wants to keep.

Any brilliant headboard ideas that I can use with this crappy window in my way?

I would either do a cut out headboard, like this:

or something really low - I don't have ideas for a low headboard.

I'll have to think about it. I wish I could just plug up the window but that's not going to happen.

I was also thinking of something really low or you could use curtains as a headboard and they would serve a dual purpose. I'll try to find a better pic of what I'm talking about but something like this:

That's exactly what I was going to suggest. Pick a headboard that you love and hang curtain along the entire wall. That way you can't tell that there is a strange window.

I agree use curtains to your advantage. I have a window that takes up half my headboard so I hung it the width of my headboard and it looks great.

Thanks everyone!

search for curtain wall on houzz. There's lots of nice pics with headboards in front of the curtains.
