Cool Stuff: Headboards as Art

Last year, when Shivauna Brown of Vancouver, British Columbia, bought her first home, she craved "a signature piece of art to not only fill a wall, but also inspire her morning, noon, and night." When she couldn't find what she wanted, she decided to create it herself.

The result is Brown's new company, One + Only Custom Headboards. Using art and photography, Brown turns the images into colorful bedheads rendered in canvas or vinyl. They not only provide a soft place to prop yourself up against, they take care of the "what to put over the bed?" art quandary as well.

A look at some of Brown's unique bedroom creations:

Flora

Lotus

Blue Frost

In the Pink

Sparkle

Available in twin to king sizes, unframed headboards are $599 Canadian (about $569 U.S.) and framed headboards are $895 Canadian ($849 U.S.). Don't miss the sample sale area for special bargains.
