One week 'till Christmas and we are busy here finishing some last minute preparations. I don't really have time for more work on the new look for our bedroom, except to keep it tidy, but I wanted to share our new leather headboard.
My niece and her hubby bought a new high end bedroom suite and gave us their barely used dark brown king sized leather headboard. We love it! It replaces the Shaker style blue headboard we had for a number of years:
(I sold both IKEA 3 drawer dressers and the king headboard/footboard on kijiji.)
We picked up two night tables and a long dresser with triple mirror, solid pine with dovetailed drawers, from a local lady for $75. I lightly sanded them before the weather got too cold and hope to paint them sometime next year.
These are some inspiration photos for the changes I have in mind, from the 2008 HGTV Dream Home. We have a similar wall colour and we will use the leather headboard instead of the canopy fabric. I especially like the creamy colour of the night tables and mirrors and will probably use something similar on our dresser and night tables. Instead of the brown quilt I might add some blue. Do you have any inspiration photos or links with leather headboards and neutral colours?

Your headboard is wonderful, and I love the color on the walls. The off white is so pretty against the wall in the inspiration photo. I think the leather headboard is such a classic that you can do anything with it. Love it. Hugs, Marty
How fun to get that headboard and I love your ideas. I really love the bedding on that bed too..so pretty! You have a really wonderful Christmas! ;D
The leather headboard is going to look great in your bedroom. I'll have to keep my eyes open for some inspiration photos.
I just sent you an email - let me know what you think.
What a beautiful headboard! Your room is going to look stunning! What color will you paint the side tables? Have a wonderful day!
