Decisions, Decisions

It may have taken a bit longer than I anticipated, but I am completely unpacked here in my new(ish) condo. (Personally I think it still counts as new for at least a year, right?) And while I have done some decorating... my killer gallery wall... I still haven't touched the walls of the master bedroom. I haven't quite figured out what exactly it needs, but I do know it needs something. Enter pinterest. That website... let me tell you... genius. While I will admit that I avoided it for quite some time, I've caved and it is well worth it. New food recipes (all with pictures, which truthfully is the only way to sell a recipe) right there. New workout routine because you just can't run every day, pinterest has something for you. And I've just really started embracing the DIY pinterest world. Face it, before owning a home there's only so many DIY projects a person can get into. Pinterest has done it's part and helped me select a project... DIY headboard. Now this is where I need a little help... Which method should I go with?

First we have the "old window shutters" style. Which from my perspective gets some serious points for looking like a very simple method. (Read: Lauren feels she has the necessary skills to make this happen all on her own!)

Next we have the simplistic "four stained boards" approach. Again points for simplicity, however I'm not sure it will fit in with the furniture I currently have in my room. However, I suppose I can stain/paint them how I see fit. 

In a similar style to the stained wooden boards, we have a more rustic look here. I'm a little unsure if my penmanship is strong enough to pull of this approach. (I will take any volunteers for the writing portion of this project.) 

Here we have the "old door" style of headboard. While this approach is interesting, I'm not sure how much an old door costs? If anyone is giving away an old door I will take it! 

A unique style that has definitely piqued my interest is the use of ceiling tiles. Again I like the simplicity yet originality. And I'm pretty sure that this is another approach that I can handle with very few problems. (Reminder: These statements of my DIY skills come purely from looking at pictures and reading very short summaries of the work involved.) 

And finally the style I consider to be a more traditional headboard, the upholstered style. I'm going to be honest... This doesn't seem like my style and maybe I'm saying that because I truly believe this is the most difficult headboard to pull off. Although, I really don't see this being my style.

So that's my summary of DIY headboards that I'm interested in. Any and all help/advice/thoughts/creative insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm ready to get my DIY on!
