Headboards are a great way to change the look of your bed. Poppy Talk has done a blogpost on how to make a headboard from a photo. The results are great and the process simple.

Excerpt from the post:

1. once you have chosen your image (preferably a digital one). if not, you’ll have to take your original picture and scan it to make it into digital format. if you don’t have a scanner, you can take it to a local office center such as kinko’s where they can do this for you. they can put the image on a cd so you can take it to whichever printer you decide to take it to.

2. depending on the size of your original image and what type of camera the image was taken from, will depend on how large you will be able to blow up your image to. it’s best to have this looked at where you will be having the image blown up at for them to assess. the one’s in these images are at least 5′ x 7′, so your original image would need to be of pretty high quality in the pixel department.

3. for a matte canvas, ask to look at samples before you go ahead. according to my trusty old blueprint magazine, ask for heavyweight artist’s canvas, pigment-based dyes, and an ultra-violet-protective coating.
