extreme headboards

Nothing makes more of a statement in the bedroom than a large, oversized headboard.  The bed being the focal point in most bedrooms, a headboard can accent it quite nicely and carry the theme or style of the space.  Be creative with your headboard!  They can be crafted from pretty much any material of your choice - wood, fabric, paint, a found object, a great buy at a garage sale, etc.  Below are some interesting and unique ideas...
