Where to buy a head board for a bed?
In England I could pick up a nice padded head board for 50 pounds! I
can't find them anywhere here in NJ! Anyone know where I can get them? I can have 2 of them made at the local fabric store - for $1400! lol Thanks! Dean |

After you've exhausted that list (sometime next year), report back on your results. |

Dean A padded headboard would be simple and inexpensive to make: plywood, foam padding, some polyester bat, fabric, staples, tacks or buttons, drill, string, and something to stand or hang it. Unpadded headboard could be just as easy. What do you want it to look like? Padded around edges, or just within a frame? Plain wood with moldings? |

you're not trying very hard.
overstock.com (very low shipping) JCPenny (best bet for something in a local store you can see) Sears (maybe but for some unknown reason their site is down today.) Just about any local furniture store (i.e. yellow pages) "dean" wrote in message oups.com... In England I could pick up a nice padded head board for 50 pounds! I can't find them anywhere here in NJ!
