It's been a while since I've featured some upcycled decor ideas. Behold this fresh crop of inspiration!

Love this wall decal as a cheap trick for a headboard. It's designed by Savannah Collge of Art and Design interns and retails for $55-- not bad for such a dramatic result, eh?

Can't spring for one of these lovelies? Neither can I. Here is a fabulous Apartment Therapy feature on DIY headboard projects that, with a little elbow grease, can produce the same look for much less!
