3 DIY headboards for under $50

Bedroom furniture can be expensive! I know many apartment and condo dwellers who have completely forgone a headboard and bed frame in lieu of putting the mattress directly on the floor due to the cost. Fear not! I have found creative, attractive and affordable DIY headboards and beds. Check out these three:

• Using bamboo laminate flooring, this "Instructable" user has created a modern clean-lined platform bed and headboard.  http://www.instructables.com/id/Bamboo-Flooring-Platform-Bed/

• Are you able to track down a wood pallet (maybe even for free)? If so, you may find yourself the lucky owner of a "new" headboard, albeit re-purposed .  http://theinspiredroom.net/room-tours/vintage-airplane-boys-bedroom/ A pallet can also be used for the bed frame and at the same time add storage.

• Want an inexpensive headboard that is light weight and easy to take down when moving? Try a wall decal; not only are they cheap, you can change the look with a new decal when ever you want. http://www.whatisblik.com/shop/nico-bed-frame
