Although our Master Bedroom is torn to pieces right now, we are finally making some progress! The TV frame is hung and makes a huge statement. However, I must say that having a TV in our bedroom definitely breaks the rules of getting a good night’s sleep. It makes it easier to stay up later which isn’t a good thing around here. But, luckily I’m a deep sleeper and can fall asleep even when my Hubsters is watching How I met your Mother at midnight.
Our next project is to make a new headboard to replace our last HUGE headboard. If you never saw that beauty, here is a picture of the bad boy:
Although we LOVED our bedroom design back then, we are definitely excited to be out with the old and in with the new. Now, we just need to choose our new headboard shape because we already have the supplies to build it! I did some major research about headboard shapes and found this awesome guide:
I had no idea that my girl’s headboards were actually called the “Portman” shape.

Now that I’m edumacated on the shapes of headboards, I have narrowed it down to these six designs.
Which one is your favorite? Happy Monday! xoxo!
I like D. I’m sure which ever one you pick will look awesome, since your home always looks pretty fab. Can’t wait to see the finished pics.
D
Definitely D. You already had F (change!), the girls have B so D is the clear winner in my book! Can’t wait to see the finished design.
I like D also.
I think C, but I do like D and E!
My vote is for E. Your girls have B, you’ve had F, and I think C is too similar to F unless you really play up that curve. Whatever you choose will look great, but I always like a nice curve at the top of the headboard.
D, then A.
I like E the best.
D!
D is my first choice.

Hi, I’ve never commented, but I thought it was time. I have been wanting to build a headboard for our master for a long time. This info is awesome, so thanks. I can’t wait to see what you choose!
I’m bucking the trend and going with A or E, because I think they’ll be easier to upholster, and they’re more likely to stay classic looking. 😀 (Of course, if you’re building on your own, you can always do another one!)
FWIW, I think the names assigned by that website aren’t the Official Headboard Shape Names, but just the names they assign to their product line 🙂
HA! You might be right! This never even crossed my mind. I’m smart. 🙂
I like A the best. In our bedroom we have a D (Finsbury) shaped headboard. Thanks for the info, this headboard shape guide is really useful!
I like D!
Love E!
I made my own headboard a few years ago using the “D” shape. After awhile I had to get rid of it because it reminded me of something from a motel. I like the C or E version, but I’m sure whatever you pick will look great!
Definitely E. Elegant and not too fussy, but not too plain either. Also, now someone said that D reminded them of a motel I can’t get that picture out of my mind!!
I like D and E equally!
A
I like E the best.
I was blog hopping and came across your older post about Sugar. I was sorry someone that did not have the Fruits of the Spirit dumped their poison onto you . Your son was two , and sometimes they look at things “fun” for the moment but do not fully grasp the consequences of that choice.
If your son was much older and chose to jump on Sugar then if he is in school I would have him tested, that can be a sign of an area of learning disabilities/ disorders.
If each of us as mothers were graded on that cruel person’s poison coming out of it’s mouth we all would of never met the bar of standard in their book of motherhood.
Most of my favorite blogs have a setting where they check it first then post if it Edifies the Blogger and Reader
Your hurt, shock , and painful attack upon your character was done in such an evil manner . I am so sorry for what that reader did to you, and how unsafe the comment left you Allow yourself time to heal, write a letter to God, pray and allow yourself to forgive that person. So you can slowly move forward. I have had to my face such ugliness spilled over me and I was an innocent person as you were. So I understand where you hurt has derived from.
Which one? Let’s see…
F you’ve already enjoyed.
C reminds me of a loaf of bread; traditional and tasty, but ordinary.
D feels like it should be upholstered in chocolate chip fabric and have a mural painted behind it of Cookie Monster or some super hero taking chomps out of it, lol.
A, B and E remind me of the sun rising up over the water; a theme that may translate well to the coral and turquoise colors you proposed to use.
A & E could be upholstered to mimic a sunrise in a very calming, literal way.
B though, B could be a fabulous sunrise in a very… art deco or ‘Yellow Submarine’ sort of way, if you’re going for something unique.
I’m sure whatever you choose will be fabulous. Thanks for the chance to give you my two cents. Good luck and happy creating!
D and B are my favorites because of the interesting shapes. But really, you can’t go wrong with any of them. With all of the additional details from other pieces they all could look stunning.
I like D an than A as well. Can’t wait to see finished product. Enjoy from 3girls1apple.com
I like Grosvenor the best, but out of the others, I’d choose E! Good luck with yet another room remodel!
I like D!
I say D. So much can be done with that shape and would fit in nicely with any style of decor.
I like D. So much that I used it for my own headboard last summer 🙂
I think, if you’re going with a bold pattern, a simple shape would be ideal. If you’re going with a solid color, then be bold in your choice of headboard design.
F is the one. I’ll definitely have no excuses for not completing one, as it looks simple and uncomplicated to work with. Adding personal decor above it will be the finishing details.
