  1. You could go to their Contact us site at http://store.delias.com/content/help/jsp...

    write and ask where that headboard is available.

    However you could probably make one like it with a little ingenuity and for a lot less than buying it would cost.  


  2. wow, that is an awesome headboard!

    I've always had to re-do my bedrooms on a tight budget...you could totally make that headboard!

    Get a piece of plywood and measure it and have it cut to fit behind your bed, you can make it really tall if you want and go really dramatic!

    Measure out every 8 inches or so and mark an X with a sharpie.  Where you've made X's, drill a hole through the plywood with a drill.  I would use a 1/4 inch drill bit.  (you only need to do holes on the part that will stick up behind your bed.)

    Spray the front of the plywood with adhesive and put a piece of foam about 2 inches thick on the wood.  Then lay down a big piece of white fabric (you can use vinyl or leather if you have the budget for it, but I would get a shiny satin, or something really cheap like a white painters dropcloth).  Lay the plywood foam side down on the fabric and pull the edges around and staple gun all the way around the back of the plywood.  Stand the wood up on it's edge and with a long sharp needle go through every hole that you drilled and attatch a big black button (you can get those at any craft shop) you do it just like your sewing a button on a piece of fabric, just go through the hole, foam, button, and then come back through the hole again.  You have to put something on the back of each hole that you can tie  knot around to keep the thread from going back into the foam (like a pencil or something...it will have to stay there forever, so you would need a hole pack of pencils!).  So tie the knot around the pencils to keep the button on tight (that will create a pull in the fabric and make it look tufted!)  

    When you are done with each button, you can either leave the edges with the white fabric on them, or you can paint some trim black and just stick it all arond the edges with a nail gun.  Then just put the wood up behind your bed...it's really easy!  

    If you hate that idea, here are some websites with white tufted headboads!
