Screens as Headboards: Yes or no?

Screens as Headboards: Yes or no?

I cant decide if I like this or not. I think it depends on the screen…. How bout you? Via My Cottage of Content Via Manolo Home Via NYSpaces. A DIY by Little Green Notebook Via Ali Mode Via The Daily Bed Via The Style Files

In other news, pictures of my apartment have popped up on Decorpad. I dont know what to think about this. First off, I dont really get what decorpad is.

Second, I kinda feel like these pictures are just random decorpad pictures now and not going to be sourced back as my home.

I know once you put it out there, it’s out there, and I dont mind all the individual bloggers who post pictures of it because they link back to me, but this kind of annoys me.

I’m just surprised I guess. What do you think?

i love a chinoiserie screen layered with an upholstered headboard in front, like the third to the last picture- a classique.

as for decorpad, what do you do? i see pictures of my work posted occasionally without attribution, and i guess it’s just part of the game. i try to just feel flattered that someone liked it enough to post it, even if their interquitte was lacking.

I like when the screen is behind an actual headboard, but I am not sure that I like the look of just a screen. As far as decorpad goes, I’ve noticed the same thing. People don’t cite where things come from at all on that site. Tumblr is pretty similar in that sense.

Some of my stuff shows up on Decorpad and I’ve had the same thoughts as you. Frustrating because you never end up getting any credits for it. No answers here, but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one.

Some wonderfully inventive uses of screens as headboards. Now off to decorpad to see what’s up!

I think I’m for screens as headboards. Definitely depends on the screen– I can see it adding affordable drama to an otherwise ho-hum room on a budget, or creating intimacy in a larger room (especially when the screen wraps around a bit).

The first image is a personal fave of mine, I like the last one too. All the others, not so much.

I think it depends on the screen, although I’m really liking all the examples you show here.

I think I liked the first and the last but not really the others. I think some of the screens look like someone was too lazy to think of a real headboard?

sometimes screen yes, sometimes screen no. it would seem that the more luxurious the screen and bedding the better it all seems to work.

i am on the fence about the pics thing…

Love that first screen and that off-white one with the circles!
Yeah, this cyberspace is annoying at times. It’s like once you type or post something, it is forever not only yours.

i saw your apt on decorpad a couple of weeks ago!! that is hugeeee..i knew it looked familiar, it looks awesome…
This post is making me laugh because my friend mary and i took a screen that someone was about to throw out, pained it with a few coats of bright white, backed it with hot pink velvet and made it her headboard. I might have a picture, ill try and find it.
