Vinyl headboard decal

Aaack, sorry it's been a week since I posted!

I haven't had a headboard in several years; when I re-did my room at home (well over 10 years ago) I switched beds from my old painted wrought-iron one to one sans headboard and foot...board? The one I traded in didn't "suit" me, and its successor came with a brass headboard I smartly decided not to attach. Then I went away to college where I had a kick-ass extra-long twin and bunkbed setup. When I moved out of the dorms and into an apartment, we bought just a basic frame/boxspring/mattress combo and I had no desire to get a headboard, for simplicity's sake, so here I am 4 years later, headboardless, but with a greater sense of style and a fierce desire to be Martha Stewart.

I'd love to make my own and cover it with some kind of fabric - nothing frilly of course, just something simple but with commanding presence. In the meantime, between me moving to a new place and buying/making a headboard, I might go for one of these bad boys. I'm slightly obsessed with the whole "vinyl wall decal" concept, and this is pretty much adorable and non-committal for just $40. From this point of view it's almost got a little trompe-l'œil thing going on there. Elephannie has some super-cute stuff....check out her shop!
