Photos above the headboard

Here are the photos I chose to go above the bed. I decided on aspects of Hawaii: a rock on the sand, plumaria blossoms and a shell. OK, it's an abalone shell, but it's still a shell, right? I like the way they look. I was going to paint the frames white, but I just wanted to see them up. When I look at them this way, I think they really do stand out from the wall. If I painted them white, the mat wouldn't be distinct from the frame. What do you think...leave them brown or paint them white?

Headboard Done!

Here it is, back where it belongs. The green of the background fabric is a bit different than the wall, but I think I will get used to it (I know I will) after a time. I now have to do something with the rest of the wall above the headboard. For some reason it looks more bare than it did before I began this project!

Headboard Progress

Here is the progress so far. It is very difficult to get a picture that has color even close to what I see in person. I still have to figure out what I am going to do on the back. I think I will do what I did last time, get some knit fabric and attach it to complete the “envelope”, but make it a bit small so it will pull the cover taut.
