I have had five headboards in my life:
(4) Black chain link fencing around padded frame, like the Octagon.
(3) A cork board where I can pin up pictures of my grandma, shopping lists, to-do's, and business cards of random realtors who dropped by.
(2) An aquarium about 6 inches wide that runs the length of the bed.
(1) A wooden carving of Mae West lounging in a horizontal pose.
(1) A macrame and metal montage with painted hub caps and scrap yard paraphernalia.
My shrink says this explains things....but she's not sure what.
Sleep well people.
