Need a headboard but it's just not in the budget? Can't fit in your apartment and even the ones at Ikea are too expensive? Well, if you can't go literal, why not try surreal. This painted headboard lesson from Sew Betty, is easy, cheap, and even thought provoking (Ceci n'est pas une Headboard)!

 

"I want a headboard for our bed, but it is not in the budget at the moment. Instead, I bought a canvas and Mark drew a headboard on it for me. I painted the headboard black and the background the same color Manhattan Mist from Behr) as our bedroom walls. It looks great above the bed and it makes me laugh."
